Slow Machine
 
I have a Janome L-392. It makes a pretty stitch, but is terribly slow. Is there way to adjust the speed (no manual) or is it just slow? Or is it dying??! I have taken it apart and it's clean inside. Any suggestions?

Sounds like your foot feed to me

HB took my FW foot pedal apart and it was full of lint. Cleaned it out and back to running normal again, no more slow down to a crawl.

Thanks! I tried that, and it was only a little dusty. Nothing alarming.

That machine is supposed to have an electronic speed control - not sure how you set it though.

Aw, all I can find is "
Controlling Sewing Speed
Sewing speed can be varied by the foot control.
The harder you press on the foot control, the
faster the machine runs"
It's true to a point.. it does run a little faster when the pedel is to the metal...
