How did you all open up your foot pedals?
My Janome MC6600 foot pedal is doing the same thing. I unscrewed the 2 visible screws in the bottom, and it wouldn't open. I didn't want to force it and break anything. Any tips? Mine is an older machine - I bought it used 1.5 years ago, but it's at least 3 yrs old b/c the same machine at work has a slightly different foot pedal.
Thanks,
Alison Schmidt

Put a piece of the shelf rubber lining under your foot pedal
Necessity is the Mother of Invention ... good for you, for figuring it out!I haven't had the problem you mention ....... though would like to find a way to keep the foot pedal from running away on the carpet.Others have posted of the same same problem, but I haven't figured this one out yet!

Thank you for the helpful info. I have 3 Janomes & have never had this problem, but now I know what to do if I ever do. Can I get these special Q-Tips in Canada? Thanks for the info about the velcro. Now I know what I'm going to do.The rubber shelf liner has never helped me.
