Thanks! Pretty new at this. I have so much to learn!
|
I have never attached my foot pedal to my machine (Janome 6600) and have always used the start/stop button. My new car has a start/stop button too...no key.
Love both of them |
I vagley remember my dealer showing me this when i purchased my machine but never knew what it was for.
Guess I need to play with machine some more. There is still so much to learn. Thanks for the info ladies! Gale |
Just checked my Brother QC1000 and the foot feed has to be disconnected before you can use the start/stop button. The same on my Janome. Have tried it yet as I am try ing get 48 blocks done for 2 baby quilts. I am working on the 16th one now. Babies are due January 2nd, but will probably arrive before Christmas.

I found a Jenome the MO200 Quilters companion, the Marie Osmond model she endorsed for Janome. I can buy it for cost which is a great deal and it sounds like a good machine looking at the features I foundon the Janome website. Does anyone here have that machine and do you like it? It has speed control and will sew without the pedal using stop/start button. I think I will buy this but really wondered if any of you might have it and can get an opinion. I can't wait to get it.

Try it out if you can before you buy if possible. I don't have that model, but from what I have been hearing, all models seem to be good. I have the American Quilters Club model and a I really like it.

How much does this one cost ?( if you don't mind sharing) |
Will have to try the start/stop button on my Brother 6000. Don't use this machine much, but will try it.

Berta, I also have a MC 9000 that I absolutely love - however - I do not like it for FMQ. I kept getting loops on the back, also known as "whiskers". When I was at the VT Quilt Festival last year, I got to use a Bernina in class and must say that Bernina's do an excellent job on FMQ. I picked up a used Bernina after that. I will never give up my 9000; that machine does pretty much everything I need, but I use the Bernina for FMQ. Even a low end model Bernina, like the 150 series does a great job with FMQ.

I kept reading about how handy this would be but never thought to look at my machine because I thought it would only be on newer models! In my defense I have only had my Bernina for 7 months! I guess I should get out the owner's manual and read it before I do any more FMQ! DUH!
