Does anyone use the button for sewing?
#43
I have one on my Janome but I don't use it to piece. If I need to adjust the fabric while I'm piecing, I want to be able to slow/stop the machine without taking my hands off the piece - even for a second.

I first used the button on my Janome when I had a joint replaced in my toe...funny the things that will get us to try out something new to us. No sewing was harmed by that surgery!
I sewed on my mom's Kenmore as a teen and it had the knee pedal rather than foot pedal. Years (lots of years) later a knee lift on my Bernina confused my brain a bit, I'd press the knee thing and the foot would go up while my brain waited for the machine to go I guess! I was laughing and laughing until my body got more used to what to expect.

The button was one of the reasons I chose to purchase a new machine. My back was hurting from sitting at an angle to reach the foot pedal. The new foot pedal is still wrapped in plastic in my fabric closet. Took me only a few mins. to get used to this wonderful convenience!
