Does anyone use the button for sewing?
#131
After reading everybody's comments on this subject, I have tried for the first time the on/off button on my Brother. I did ok, have a 50/50 likeness to this, and will continue to try it. With the 1/4" seam, my material got caught in the needle a couple of times, so have to overcome that problem.

I wore the symbol off the button a long time ago.

i also have two Brother sewing machines & love, love, love the start/stop button. I taught my daughter to sew with them & had to buy her a Brother with the button. She couldn't quite get the hang of sewing without it.

I believe that I wouldn't like that. I sew with both hands. ne behind the presser foot the only in front. Both guide the fabric.
Unplug the foot pedal, push button to sew, push button to stop. :thumbup:
