I have a little Janome but I started the start-stop button when I got the machine and now I unplugged the foot pedal, and only use the pedal when I am doing something where I absolutely have to control every single stitch for accuracy. the Janome has a foot pedal in name only - mine has about 4 speeds so the notion of the pedal being a continual increase in speed is wrong. I just set the speed slider to something that works, (I marked my favorite spots right on the machine) and off I go! Liberating and less hassle tracking down where I kicked the pedal to!
