they haven't changed that pedal in forever and i love it. the bigger ones make my ankles hurt. give it a chance and then if it still bugs you find out if there's a larger one available.

I have shoesize 5 1/2 sew barefoot and hardly can get used to this small lightweight thing.
How about you? Maybe I contact Janome and ask whether a big heavy one is available!?

I started quilting about 3 three years ago and bought a smallish Jannone as my first machine. When it was demonstrated at the quilt show where I purchased it, the woman used the button to stop and start. So, from the day I bought it, I only use the stop and start button. Can't sew any other way.

Feedback from Janome this morning
Good morning
Thank you for the feedback, it is always nice to hear from a happy customer. However we would not recommend that you use a foot control from a different sewing machine as the wattage etc may be different and could cause problems with the motor of your machine.
