Question for Cowboy Sewing Machine users

[KYCat]

I've searched the forum, admittedly not as deeply as I could've but kept going down rabbit holes, so just going to ask anyway...

I've got a Cowboy 3500 machine (my first 'real' leather machine) and am really liking it except for one thing. I believe it has a brake on the wheel where it can only be advanced slowly while the foot feed is pressed (power on). 

Is there a way to disable this so I can position the needle exactly where I want it to begin my stitches?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but have a big project coming up and don't want to screw it up based on my not knowing something that is probably obvious. But I don't know what I don't know.

 

Thanks for your help!

Here’s a link to a thread on how I did it on my 4500…go to page five
