Rather unhappy with Janome Horizon footpedal
#1
I have the machine for a week now and really love it. BUT the footpedal feels like a toy compared to my Bernina.......
I have shoesize 5 1/2 sew barefoot and hardly can get used to this small lightweight thing.
How about you? Maybe I contact Janome and ask whether a big heavy one is available!?

I have the same one on my Janome6600. Janome is notorious for their
"lovely" foot pedals. Never had a Bernina so I don't know what I'm missing.
What I don't like about the pedal is that I have to keep chasing it. I put a
silicone potholder underneath but it still escapes. Oh well.

Same one I have with the 6600.
Now I can't remember if it's my Janome I do this with or my Husqvarna ... but one of them works better if I turn it around and use the back of the pedal.
I tend to use foot pedals with toes only, not my whole foot. And yes, I always sew barefoot.
