I'm sure your machine would have to be set up for it first. Not all machines are. Out of all of my machines only my Viking mega quilter is and it came with it. Check out your manual and see if your machine can work with one before you do it. The other option is if you find an old cabinet that has the foot pedal mounted on the side of the cabinet at knee level or you could modify your cabinet and possible mount your foot pedal to the side of your cabinet so that you could just push on it with you knee.
