Start/Sop Sewing Machine Button ?
#21
I use my start/stop button so much on my Brother that I have to stop myself from trying to use it on my vintage machines. LOL It's especially useful for paper piecing along with the auto thread cutter function.

I have a start/stop button but never have used it. I wasn't sure how to use it. I bought my Janome used and the foot pedal wasn't working so took it back to the dealer where I bought it and he put a new foot pedal on and said it was under warranty-Yeah!!! Works like a charm now so you might want to consider replacing your foot pedal.

I have a start/stop button on mine but rarely use it. I always felt like I really didn't have control. But after reading some of your posts I may give it another try. It didn't occur to me to slow down the speed, especially when nearing the end of the seam. And I sometimes have trouble reaching my foot pedal due to being short and my foot pedal wandering. But maybe after a little practice I think the start/stop button might be the solution!

I use this function when using the fancy stitching, just because it keeps the machine at an even speed when adding decorative stitches to something, works good when adding the simple block font when making name tags.
