Colleen, thank you for this information. I went to Sutherlands Lumber here in MS and found this dimmer that has a long cord and a slide button. I printed out your website information looking for the one you have. This one is also 125V and is up to 300 watts. It was $10.99 plus tax. I plugged my machine into it and at first I thought it wasn't working because my sewing machine light didn't come on. Then as I slid the button and pressed the presser foot, the light came on and I could control the speed. It comes with screws to attach it to a surface and I can have it attached to my sewing desk. I finally found it online at Amazon so I could post a picture of what I got today. I am just starting my first free motion baby quilt and didn't want to mess it up. Thank you so much for the information. Oh, I have another light above my sewing machine and that will do just fine with a slower speed.

it doesn't wire in..it's a plug in piece.. dimming depends on your comfort zone.. its up to you.. that is what is nice about it.. the link at the first page gives you that info..

the speed provided by the dimmer helped me to do my first applique piece without my "lead foot" interfering.. I was able to keep a steady pace and build my confidence so that I can do 21 more blocks..
