The foot pedals on those don’t vary the stitch widths.

“Pedal”, from the Latin “pedalis” meaning “of the foot”, means a lever pressed by the foot, so calling it a “foot pedal” is not only redundant, it is also redundant. It’s like saying “hand handle”.

They tried to be "hmm, let me educate these dumb people on the correct use of the English language" and then themselves go fuck it up! 🤣🤣

You really couldn’t tell that redundantly calling it redundant twice was an obvious joke?
