How did you all open up your foot pedals?
My Janome MC6600 foot pedal is doing the same thing. I unscrewed the 2 visible screws in the bottom, and it wouldn't open. I didn't want to force it and break anything. Any tips? Mine is an older machine - I bought it used 1.5 years ago, but it's at least 3 yrs old b/c the same machine at work has a slightly different foot pedal.
Thanks,
