That is why I had DH swap out the Singer for a new type on my 15, and why I have a different setup for my White (came with the same type).
I recently learned the hard way NOT to sew barefoot!!!
If I need to sew long and fast I use one of my machines that has an upgraded electronic controller. On one of the cabinets we purchased we had to replace the foot controller that was attached inside the cabinet for use with a knee lever.
When hubby removed it the wood was a nice dark burnt brown under it.....they get hot!!!
