Move over McGiver

Somewhere in my "stuff" I may have a speed controller for the Juki.
BUT in the mean time, regulating the stitch speed for free motion work, while not a necessity, is something I've become accustomed to. But how to fix this machine.
Examining the foot pedal, I found its structure was such that there was a gap between the pedal and the housing.

 

 I cut and fit a piece of mouse pad. Now it should restrict the movement of the pedal, and therefore the speed of the stitching.

 

 

 


If this works I'll replace it with a piece of wood.
So far, so good, but the test will be when I get into a 2 hour session of microquilting! Stay tuned.
