I bought a Kenmore 583 a couple months back and the darn thing is trying to run over me! I start out with it going slow, and then for no reason it will suddenly speed up for a couple inches (heading straight for my fingers) and then slow back down to normal for a bit. It just keeps this up as I sew. Looks like its headed to the shop. . .

Careful with the pressure on the foot control. Kenmore has been made by JANOME for a long time.

oh really? I always thought they were singers as they use singer needles and parts. lol, shows what I know!
Love the machine, but it does the speeding up thing without me adding pressure on the foot control.

Think there could be a short in the wiring of the foot pedal??

Yes, have the foot pedal checked out. That's usually the problem with that symptom.

I had a serger made by Toyota. Seriously. Bought it at JoAnn's back in the 80's. Just gave it away before I moved.

I was just getting ready to contribut that I JUST gave my Toyota sewing machine to my sons school. It too, came from Joanns - but on closeout in the late '90s.

Was a great machine to start with!!
