Default Singer 222 sews S l o w ???

HI

And Happy Easter.

I just got the Singer Featherweight 222, and it is beautiful. But, you have to push really really hard on the foot control, and you have to push the "pedal" all the way to the "floor" for it to go.

I have the 221's and I don't have to push hard on the foot control, and I usually only have it half way down to sew nicely. If I put those to the floor, it goes almost too fast.

The prongs which go into the machine on the 222 are thin and skinny, where the 221 prongs are round, so I can't interchange the 2foot controls.

Any ideas on how to adjust the foot control to make it not so hard to push, and to go without pushing all the way down.

Thanks
KarenSue
