Do foot controls get old?
It seems lately i can't manage the speed of my stitching any more.....it's either too slow or too fast...usually too fast. Do foot pedals get old and cranky??? Note...i have checked...there is nothing in the pedal that would be messing it up.

They do get old. I had to replace the one for my old Singer. My Viking is getting bad. They said a new one would be about $80. I checked online and it was no cheaper, that I could find. I think he said it was the solenoid. I'm going to live with mine or a while before I spend that kind of money.

Homespun, my foot control did the same thing. Scared the living daylights out of me! I promptly took my machine in and had things checked out. I was concerned that it might short out and cause a fire.
