Took me several episodes of it happening to figure out what was going on.

Oh, that's not good. I suggest you go back to the place of purchase and ask for a replacement pedal (preferable a free one).
I've got two Janome babies and each was purchased when the models first arrived in stores (MC10K and MC11Kse). Luckily I have never had anything go wrong with them; only needed to do yearly cleanings. Both run like a dream!

.ok ok here's the problem i believe and the solution. i have a janome also and my foot pedal did the same thing. of course i sew on a carpeted floor, so here's what i did: just turn the pedal upside down and use it that way. mine has never done it again. another thing be sure and put your foot in the middle of that thingy - not to the side of it. mine works perfect upside down and i even like it better that way.

This problem was discussed on another list and what they found was they had lint or threads caught up in the foot pedal. I'd recommend taking it to the dealer for a cleaning. Apparently it's not easy to get the foot pedal back together correctly. I've had Janomes since they were New Homes and never had this problem personally but it would be scary.
