Is there anyone out there in FB Land who can give me a CLUE? My sewing machine (Janome Quilting/Decor 4030) has suddenly decided, for no apparent reason, to continue sewing after I have taken my foot off the control pedal. This is definitely NOT helpful, especially when I NEED to stop to turn the fabric beneath the needle! It might be easier to figure out if it happened consistently instead of randomly, but it doesn't. Help???? Anyone???

Yes, you can do free motion sewing and quilting with the Janome Decor Excel 5018. Look on the back of the sewing machine behind the needle and bobbin case section. At the bottom of the free-arm section of the machine, more or less in line with the needle bar, is the feed dog position switch. Move the switch towards the motor of the sewing machine to lower the feed dogs. Move it away from the motor to raise the feed dogs. For pictures, see the manual for the Janome Excel 5018, available from Janome here: https://www.janome.com/siteassets/support/manuals/retired/other-models/inst-book-5018-ennose.pdf . Look at page 2 (item 22), page 6 and page 22. (These are pages 8, 16 and 48 of the PDF.) This is a retired machine for Janome and the manual is listed among those here: https://www.janome.com/support/retired-machine-manuals/ .
I hope this helps. Note: you will have to adjust the tension carefully before starting your quilting.The darning foot, https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/janome-darning-foot-200349000.aspx , will help you see where you are sewing better than any of the included accessory presser feet.
this can happen if machine has embroidery functions , as u set it up and press the pedal then it executes the embroidery and stops , also its possible that pedal is defective , you can obtain new ones that just plug in
at janome website they have a operation manual
under machines it will show different names like embroidery-sewing/quilting
look for the one that says retired
it will bring up a picture under the picture it will say machines in this catagory
it has a janome decor excell 5124
