If you plug them into the wrong outlet it runs very fast. The foot petal will need to be wired into the cord block. This foot petal looks like the ones made during the machine's time http://shop.sew-classic.com/Foot-Con...TAL-SCE507.htm. If you like more control when sewing and a foot that stays cool this one will work also http://shop.sew-classic.com/Foot-Con...p-SCE168FC.htm . ( I have never ordered from that website but many members have and highly recommend it. The owner is very helpful if you have questions.) Please unplug the machine when not in use, it has no off switch. Cari types faster than I do!
