Those of you who read my blog regularly -
Know that I got a Brother SQ9050 sewing machine -
At Walmart -
A couple of years ago -
And that I call her SuzieQ - ;))
I introduced you to her - HERE -
11/6/12 - Meet SuzieQ
And I did a Review - HERE -
11/10/12 - LHQ - REVIEW - BROTHER 9050 -
And a Review Update - HERE - ;))
11/10/13 - LHQ - REVIEW UPDATE - BROTHER 9050 -
Well - I've had her for three years -
And I just now found the coolest feature EVER!! - ;))
Maybe I shouldn't say - "found" -
Because it WAS there -
When I did my first review -
And then there’s the Start/stop button -
The Reverse button -
The Needle Up/Down button -
The Speed Control -
But just because I mentioned it -
Doesn't mean I knew all about it -
Or even paid any attention to it - ;))
Now for some reason -
Maybe it was divine intervention -
Or maybe someone up there -
Has been watching me chase my foot pedal all over the place -
Anyway - I don't know why -
But something made me look at that button again - ;))
Guess what?? -
It is one of the COOLEST little buttons -
On the WHOLE machine!! - ;))
I HATE chasing the dang foot pedal around -
I have tried no-slip pads -
I have tried stick-ums used to hold down rugs -
I have tried putting it up against something that WON'T move -
And nothing seems to work - ;((
So when I looked at the button -
I thought - what the heck -
Let's try this - ;))
I unplugged the foot pedal -
Because it won't work if the foot pedal is plugged in -
And set the speed control to "Medium" -
Put my quilt block under the presser foot -
Pushed the "Start/stop" button to "Start" it -
And when it got to the "End" of the block -
I pushed the "Start/stop" button to "Stop" - ;))
DUH!! - ;))
No foot pedal chasing!! - ;))
No foot pedal AT ALL!! - ;))
Who knew?? - ;))
Now I'm wondering -
Why did it take me THREE YEARS -
To play with that stinkin' button?? - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
