My Brother has this feature, at 1st I only used it when I was embroidering, but depending on what I'm doing I use it and have found it very handy. Of course, it took some getting used to.

My sewing machine has a start-stop button. I LOVE it. So much easier than having to press with my foot which sometimes makes it go too fast or too slow then stops where you have to move the wheel. That is aggravating. Yep, I like the button best. :)

I have never tried mine, but think I will soon!

I use the start/stop botton all the time, the print is worn off and that is what I used when I decided to teach myself FMQ It sure helped me.

My button only works with the embroidery feature. However, I recently invested in a new light which has helped my back. I find I don't lean into the machine to see what I'm doing. It was $ well spent. Hummmmn. Wonder if I could write it off on my taxes under health expense? Matter of fact, all of the quilting expenses - it's my mental therapy.

I have Vikings and you can use either foot pedal or button interchangeably. I use the button for some things, if I am stitching a long row of fancy stitches. But I still like the pedal. As far as the knee control, my mother's old Singer from the late 30's had a knee control so I was used to that growing up. But when I had to get a new motor and pedal for it I can't use the knee control any more.

The stop/start button is great for FMQ. Set your speed at a medium speed and it remains constant.:-)

I have never used the foot pedal on my Brother. And the arrow on the button is wearing off from my fingernail poking it so much LOL
