I have one and I use it frequently. It is a VERY NICE feature... I love it! I too learned on an old singer with the knee control and when I shooped for my new machine I almost bought the brother that had the knee control on it but it was pricy... I bought a brother embroidery machine and I love the button control feature... was a litle afraid at first of the button and I did forget to push it and was searching for the foot control instinctivly but no biggie I got use to it fast...

I've tried it on ocassion. I guess old habits die hard and I prefer using the foot pedal most of the time. It's good for you that it helps with back pain and I hope I can remember that if I start having back trouble.

sitting in a chair kills my back....i have all three machines on high counters so i can stand...the foot pedal stays put.....having the serger up high makes a mess unless you have a trash catcher close by

LOVE LOVE LOVE the button!

I like the button when I take my Brother to class. But mostly I love my Kenmore that I taped/stapled the foot control to the side of my sewing table so I can use it with my knee! Go figure. My daughter loves the button. Also the fact that you can adjust the speed so it doesn't run away with her when she starts sewing.

I learned on a Singer with a knee control and my Dad fixed my Singer once it was put in a cabinet to have a knee control. My new Brother has the stop/start and also a speed control so it does not take a lot to use it. My right leg is disabled and I cannot get my left foot to mind me so I like the stop/start.

Wow, I have had my Elna 7200 for about four years now and never knew I had this feature! LOL
Anyway, I wanted to ask, can you use the reverse button with the start/stop button for backtacking? In other words, once I press the start/stop and I start moving forward, can I press reverse while it's running? I can't imagine why I couldn't, but my manual doesn't address this and I'm always one to err on the side of caution, so I was just wondering if any of you have done this. Thanks!! |
