Foot Control Question
I have a Bernina Artista 165 Sewing/Embroidery Machine and the foot control hesitates when I am doing regular sewing. Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you correct it. I called the lady that gave me the machine (she upgraded to a newer machine) and she told me that her new machine's foot control does the same thing. I am wondering if it normal or not.

I don't know the machine that you have ...
Are you meaning the hesitation is when you are starting to sew? or the whole time you are sewing? I understand there are some machines that have a gradual start. By this I mean that when you start to sew, it doesn't pick up speed immediately, slow, then a little faster then to full speed! Kind of like a race car being kept a little slower til it's down the track a bit. |

Contact your local Bernina dealer and ask them what they think. Maybe the foot control needs to be replaced or perhaps there is a break in the wire that connects it to your machine.

I had an inexpensive Singer that did that. It was just a sewing machine but the foot control has a bad hesitation. I would have to floor it and then it would take off. I contacted Singer and they sent me a new foot control. Hope this works out for you. I know how aggravating this can be.

Before ordering a new foot pedal. Take your machine in and ask to borrow one of theirs. If it hesitates, then it is the machine. Also, depending on where the foot pedal has been ( in a home with cats, dogs, or lots of sewing) there could be fuzz, pet hair etc inside the pedal. This has happened to alot of Janome owners as well. Be for warned the foot pedals are not cheap. My husband took mine apart, being careful to watch the sequence) and found carpet fuzz in it.
Cleaned it, works great., D in TX |
