I wasn't fond of the original foot pedal either until I learned that you sew with your heel on the button, not your toes. Billy told me that and since I've started using it the right way, I don't have any problems.
Oooh...I have been sewing with my toes or upper foot on the button...okay, I'll have to try the heel...thank you.
