That said, I've been told that the double lead cord (single cord, 2 ends) works on the machines configured for the 2 separate cords. Obviously the other way around wouldn't work, you'd have no pedal.
Thank you so much for this info. I just bought one with two cords, but I prefer to sew with the newer type of foot pedal. I was afraid to plug in into my newest machine , for fear of blowing it up.
