Fast Fixes For Troubles With Sewing Machine Electronic Foot Controls

By Eloise Hewitt


Sewing is a hobby preferred more and more by people, especially fashion aficionados. On many counts, a personalized outfit, especially one you made for yourself is way better than the ones you buy from malls. For starters, a personalized outfit is guaranteed to be all original. You will never have to worry about wearing your favorite dress and seeing another wearing one exactly like it on the subway. A home made ensemble also costs less. All you have to do is to look for less expensive fabric, threads and other materials you may need. You do not have to worry about paying for the high labor fees since you are already doing it yourself. Also, you do not have to wear yourself out in dressing rooms trying so many outfits to see which one fits. There are about a million advantages, but for sure you already know them.

With all these promises that a homemade outfit holds, you are already itching to it try out as well. You already daydream of standing out in the crowd in your original raiment. You simply can not wait to be the object of envy among your friends and office mates. So you buy a machine that will realize all of these, one that has unparalleled sewing machine electronic foot controls.

A foot control, also known as a foot pedal, is a standard device that manages your sewing speed. You can think of the foot pedal as the gas pedal in your car. Both works in more or less the same fashion.

While sewing is easier with an electric foot pedal, it also brings about problems. One of the most common of these is the overheating of your foot pedal. Now, this device usually gets hot so a little heat is not really a cause for alarm, but there will be times when the device gets hotter than you are used to. You may think about replacing your old one for something new, but not before reading the following considerations.

You may want to check your foot pedal. Make sure it is clean and free from dust and dirt. An unclean pedal usually malfunctions rather than when you clean it regularly.

Check your sewing speed. Maybe you are going too slow and thus, stepping on your pedal longer. Experts say that faster sewing can alleviate this condition.

Check your wire. A faulty wire can cause overheating of the pedal. You can also try unplugging and plugging it on again, just to check.

Visit your dealer. All products come with a warranty to ensure consumers of the quality of their products. Most machines come with a two year warranty period, so you will be able to save from spending your hard earned money.

Asking help from friends who may have encountered this problem can also help you. Since more people are into sewing, there are so many people around you who can actually help. Find a solution as early as you can to avoid future complications.
