Calling All Vintage Machine Quilters!
I've been free motion quilting on a Singer 201-2. It is truly beautiful. The tension on this machine is perfect, the mid-century Art Deco cabinet surface is smooth, slick and makes it so easy to move the quilt. I added a Bright Light, so the lighting is superb and just where I need it at the needle. There is only one problem--speed control.
The machine speed goes from off to medium-fast (for fmq) speed with no in between. I have installed an electronic pedal which made it easier to hold the speed steady, but it did not help with the speed itself or quick transition from off to medium-fast.
Im looking for other vintage machine quilters input to see how you have overcome this handicap.
