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.
Sometimes when I press the foot control, it won't start up right away but once it starts it goes on at full speed. I have checked the connections and everything seems to be fine. I am thinking it may be because it is an embroidery machine also and the foot control isn't used when embroidering. I don't really know the cause of the hesitation. My Bernina 1250 never has done that but it is only a sewing machine without the embroidery part.
