When I got my Janome 6600 a friend said don't even put the foot pedal on the machine. Get used to the stop start button. I needed a new pedal for my 3500 so put it on that and have never looked back. I used my stop start button all the time piecing and FMQ. I have used it enough that I can just move my thumb up to slow it down or stop it with no trouble. The only time I might use a foot pedal is if I am really trying to get an accurate seam for points and such..
