    Amy I really don't have an answer for you. I have four machines and they all have separate cords/foot pedals. I'm so glad of this because if not, I would not have found a cord for my machine.

    I am so interested in this thread-I was just telling my youngest daughter(will be in 2nd year of college) how I would love to get a camper or rv and live in it once I retire--traveling the country and choosing the weather we prefer. My husband grew up spending summers with his parents camping-they had a pop-up. I have never been much of an adventurer(my idea of camping is sleeping at a hotel)-but as I get closer to possibly retiring(9 more years) living that live as a free spirit seems like it would be fun.

    Hey there Bellasnanny! Yes, it has been a great 15 years. I am so ready to settle down now though and I thought I would never feel that! Now is the time I want to spend with family and great/grandchildren. Please, if you feel the urge to go "on the road" please know it is so worth it. However, you must be prepared to start all over again if you sell your home and have only your RV which is what we did. It has turned out to be a blessing for us even if it has been tough. We went through a lot of our money while on the road and we also worked in campgrounds and RV parks plus we sold Christmas trees in Memphis for three seasons. You will be surprised at how much it takes to re-start with a new home (mobile in our case), septic system, insurance, water and power bills... etc. Things you just take for granted before hitting the road are now "additional" expenses to us! We do not regret our decision because we got to spend tons of time with my aging parents letting them show us this wonderful country of ours that otherwise we would not have seen. Loved every second of it!

    Both my Vikings do. The pedal and power cord are separate.

    My old singer was combined.

    My Janome, Husqvarna and Brother machines all have separate plug and pedal cords. My old Bernina has them joined.
