Also, this may be a silly question but, is there a way around having to use your big toe to press the little button on the foot pedal? I love every aspect of sewing with my little Featherweight EXCEPT the toe cramps! LOL! And by the way...her name is Fanny Featherweight.

Donna,
I'd check the belt to make sure it neither too tight nor too loose, then I'd think about how long it's been since the motor was greased.
As for the foot controller button I use the outside of my right foot on the button. Neither my wife nor myself likes them one bit. But they work and we have a bunch of machines with that type so we live with them.
