I could never get the hand/foot coordination right with the foot pedal...the on/off button changed my life! I went from a so-so quilter, to being able to do much more intricate designs. It gave me confidence to try new things. I love the speed control, too..nothing to worry about but where your design is headed! If something happened to my machine today, I'd buy another one tomorrow with the stop/start button..no going back for me!
Also...no more tension in my shoulders ...I can sit so comfortably now that I don't need to use a foot pedal.
