Does anyone use the button for sewing?

Yup, I use the button on my Janome. I just got tired of my foot pedal walking away every time I used it.
I even bought one of those things that is supposed to keep it from doing that--didn't work.
So now my foot pedal is put away and I just use the button. Yes it takes a little getting used to when you first stop using the pedal. But hey there is a learning curve to everything.

Sometimes I do, sometimes not. My kids' Brother machine has to have the foot pedal unplugged to use the start/stop button to sew, as does my Bernina Aurora 440 QE. One of the many nice features of my Babylock Quest Plus is that the foot pedal can stay plugged in and I can still use this feature.

I don't don't use the Stop/Start button for regular piecing. I like to start slow and then pedal to the metal. If you use the button you can't control your speed easily. But, it's a handy feature for some people.

I use my start and stop button on my brother (where is my pedal??) but the rest of my machines don't, when switching i always look for the pedal and then remember push button and then I'm good until the next time.( i always look)
