Yes. But my answer comes with spelling challenges. Using the foot pedal triggers my plantar fasciitis.(sp?) There are specific stretches for this, but the one that works best for me is to take off my shoe and place the arch of my foot and roll the ball under me foot, pressing into the arch.
It relaxes the tendon that is pulling through my foot to my heel. You can look up the stretches on line, but tbe tennis ball works very well for me. I keep it next to the pedal and use it when I am hand stitching.
It drives my dog nuts! She just looks at me like I am an idiot who does not understand what tennis balls are for!
