Funny, I have the opposite situation. The footpedal on my Pfaff is lightweight & small & the one on my Janome 1600P is a big heavyweight one!

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I simply dont understand that such a heavy machine is coming with a toy footpedal.
My Janome Cover has a much heavier pedal (of course it does not fit the Horizon....) and it happens to be the exact same my Babylock Overlock has??

Will see what my dealer answers and I will let you know.

I use the push buttons.

I've read that many Horizon owners flip them over. There's a very active, helpful yahoo group for the Janome Horizon.

Got an answer from my dealer: put velcro on the floor....

I will contact Janome. As most machines these days are manufactured in asia (most probably in the same plant) there must be a working pedal from another brand!?
And maybe if enough customers get to them they might come up with a new one..........like the 1/4" foot :lol:

Something else to put on my wish list :D

I have the 6600, and love it. I don't use the footpedal though, learn to use the stop and start, you will be so glad you did!!

I use the non skid rubberized stuff that you use under scatter rugs to keep them from slipping.

I wear a size 5.5 shoe and don't have any problem. You'll get used to it.
