speed

How fast do you sew? After a year of quilting, I recently slowed down the speed of my machine and have found it is easier to sew straighter. I like speed, but the results are better a little slower.
Does anyone else like to speed while sewing?

If I'm just doing a long straight seam, I go full blast.
But, if I'm piecing, I slide the speed control down to just over medium. That way no matter how I push down on the pedal, it doesn't go TOO fast to keep in control.
On my quilt frame, I have the speed set at med-high. Any higher and I get broken threads.

I have "accidently" sewn fast after winding a bobbin and forgetting to turn the speed down. Scares me every time my machine takes off like a bat out of *%@#! I sew at a medium speed. Too fast and I can't sew straight. I now go real slow over bulky seams. I got tired of broken needles or thread from sewing so fast.
