I have the Janome MC6600P and have never taken the foot pedal out of its package. I ONLY EVER use the Start/Stop button. Love it. Taught my 12 yr. old GD how to use it on my machine.

I use the stop/start button in summer when I and FMG. it stops my feet from getting that burning sensation from long bouts of sewing.

I'm with you! I love the start/stop button for most sewing, but FMQ is like a dance using your hands and feet all together.
