That's wonderful! Real glad you found something that worked. I, for one, wish they made them with the knee pedal rather than the foot pedal like they did in the old days. At least you're not fishing all around for that silly foot pedal all the time.

I got mine from eBay..about $50...it was from the Grace Co. ...just put in sewing speed control in the search box. I love mine too...my foot control is now in a drawer. Be sure it is compatible to your machine-- must fit the plug- in.

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.
