Can't use foot pedal... maybe you can use this?
Hi Cathy, I just got off of the phone with the guys at Sears/Kenmore and the Sewing machine repair shop.
There are two things you can do: You can get a Speed Box that will plug in where your foot pedal was and make the control work with your hands. You can either phone 1-336-629-2825, or write to TYSINGER MACHINE COMPANY. Route 9 Box 567 Hwy 64 W Ashboro, NC 27203.
The other thing you can do is to purchase a new machine that already has the hand control with it like the ladies had mentioned above.
I hope that this helps,
Colleen
