When I'm doing a long session of FM, I often switch to relieve the leg muscles. I can't do it with regular sewing though

I never think about which feet I use. Exactly the same with hands.

I can switch from my left foot to my right foot. I learned with using my right foot on the petal, but then I relearned using my left foot on the petal so I could use the knee lift that lifts the foot on the Bernina 1530. It takes a little practice but in your situation, I think you can do it !!

I am left-handed but use my right foot (!). Even when my right leg was hurt and I couldn't use it to sew I could not switch to my left foot. Weird.

If it works, go with it.

​Hmmm, never tried.

I've allways sewn with my right foot. Several years ago, broke my toe and had a real sore foot. Tried using my left foot for the pedal and it felt weird. Sort of like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time.LOL

Yes, I use both. My husband told me he's been training to use his left hand for shaving, etc in case he has a stroke or can't use his right one. I keep thinking I should do that too, but I forget

Hah- I never thought about whether I'm left-footed. I am left handed. I think I'm going to try it. thanks!

But true confession - I HATE the foot pedal on my Janome and never use it unless FMQ for doing a really tricky seam.
