Nope
not he foot pedal. I wished it was that simple. Will drop it off to repair shop on Saturday. Thank-you for the suggestion .
i want to thank people for the comments and additional info found. The only feature so far that is a deal breaker for me is a needle threader..provided that the "feel" of the machine while sewing is good for me. The height, although it's low, I'm sure I can work with it..heck, I quilted a king size quilt on the Emerald 118 and that has a regular sewing machine throat and harp . Lol I will keep you all posted with a review once I find the Jazz to test drive...
