    This velcro idea sounds like a great one to me too.

After I hit the start button, my hand goes down to help guide the fabric, and when I get to the end it is so easy to move up and stop it. The foot pedals are packed away so I will have them when I trade up.
    I have a start stop button on my Bernina 820 that does make things easier in MHO.

    My sewing room is carpeted so I got some cheap (from the dollar store) self adhesive velcro and put the 'hook' side on my foot. It never moves now unless I pick it up and move it!! :lol:
