I love it. Wish all my machines had this. When my feet bother me this is the answer.

I have used it on occasion, but I feel more in control using the foot pedal.

If I use my start button I can stop it by hitting my foot pedal also...don't have to hit the stop button

The start stop button is there for mostly embroidery part of the machine.
Or the stop for the ending of a set of fancy stitches.
Or I have used it for patching with the auto patch...
