OK, probably a novice question, but I have to know. My Brother and my mom's Singer both have a combination foot pedal and power cord - the plug into the machine is connected to both. Do higher end machines have separate power cords?
Both my Vikings do. The pedal and power cord are separate.
My old singer was combined.
