The foot pedal works fine. Its just my heavy foot. The longer I'm sewing, the further I press the pedal, and the more the speed increases.
Like when I'm driving, I use pressure from my big toe to accelerate. The foot pedal on the sewing machine, has more resistance so I need to apply more pressure to get it to go. What I would like to do is see if there is something I can use to stop the pedal before I push it too far.
Does that make since?
