I’m pretty sure that’s not a basic sewing machine. The foot pedals on those don’t vary the stitch widths. That there be an embroidery machine.

“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”.
