Haven't read all the posts but when I discovered my start/stop button I use it all the time unless I'm using my Feather Weight. I hate fumbling around to find the foot pedal. So far I've never found a way to stop the foot pedal from sliding away from me. I especially like that I can set the speed and once you really get used to using the button you don't even think about it. And yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks. I've been sewing for over 50 years.
