Does your Janome 6600 stitch faster with the foot pedal?

Well I just tried the start/stop and compared it with the pedal.
Did that twice just to be sure. I don't see any difference.
When you use the start/stop, it will go at the speed you set it at
but when you use the pedal you can go up to the speed you set it.
If you floor it at the highest speed it's equal to the start/stop
at its highest speed.

I have never used the "start/stop" button. One thing you might want to look at is the speed you have your machine set at to use the pedal. I love my Janome 6600 and have not had any trouble with sewing speed. Good luck

I’m with EasyPeazy...when I purchased the Janome 8900 a couple of years ago, I couldn’t part with my 6600. It’s a work horse. Thanks for the speed test EP. I use the start/stop button from time to time but always adjust the speed when I need to.

I have a 6600, my favorite machine. I also have an upgraded Janome but I prefer my 6600. I can't get the hang of using the start stop button. I think you just need to get used to putting the right pressure on the foot pedal.
