SID speed control- machine question
#1
I'm looking for any words of wisdom on controlling machine speed while quilting. I have just been doing basic SID with a walking foot but have been branching out and trying to due some simple wavey lines in the borders and such. The problem I am having is keeping the speed really slow. My peddle is just to touchy. I'm using a kenmore. I guess its kinda of a machine question. Is there somthing I can use or due to my machine to help keep it slow.
I like the feature I have heard of on here that the needle always stops in the down postion. I'd like a machine that dose that. Are there machines that let you set the speed as well???
Thanks O wise ones.

I have a Bernina Aurora 440QE, and it has the needle down position also speed regulator and a BSR (bernina stitch regulator) for FM quilting. I am only just branching into the FM quilting. it is nerve racking, but fun just the same. Hope this helps. :)

my viking has speed control, and i think all of the brother's we used at the sewing school had speed control...that's why we started using them they were inexpensive machines ($89-$139) but we could slow them right down for the younger students (and some of the older ones :thumbup: )
