Yay!!! I don't need my foot pedal any more!
 
I posted a thread a short while ago, needing suggestions. I am disabled and can't use my foot pedal for quilting because I don't have proper function of my hips, knees and feet. I had so many wonderful responses, advice and well wishes from people. It was amazing!! Advice was anywhere from get a new machine, use knee lifter, use my underarm or neck. A few of you posted to get a speed box or regulator for my juki. The regulator runs around $499. and the speed box around $59. I chose the speed box and it WORKS!!!!


Thanks to everyone, I can now quilt comfortably again. I usually do meandering, but now I think I can try feathers, and other things. Thanks so much friends! You're all wonderful.
