HONEYSEW Universal Foot Control Pedal W/Light & Motor Block Fc143 for Home Sewing Machine

This foot control pedal was purchased for a vintage Kenmore sewing machine I picked up at a yard sale. The pedal cost four times what the machine did. Lesson learned to never buy a machine without the foot pedal. The foot pedal works well. It seems durable and well constructed. The lever seems to be positioned a bit high. I have to raise my foot fairly high to be able to press it. Perhaps, it may just be a matter of getting used to using it!

My vintage White 764 had a short that necessitated replacement of the plug to the motor as well as the foot/speed pedal. Based upon other reviews, I was a little concerned that this would feel flimsy, but to the contrary, I felt reasonably good with its overall quality. Perhaps my expectations were so low that anything could be better than what I had envisioned (lol!). At any rate, it is working well with my machine and I like it better than the old metal pedal because I have better speed control. I purchased the plastic replacement rather than the metal one because reviews of the metal pedal indicated that speed wasn’t regulated. The plastic pedal does allow for speed control. I am not a speedy sewist so I was satisfied with how fast it allowed the sewing to go.

Works perfectly for vintage/antique sewing machines with external motors that don't have an onboard motor control block. It might even be better than the existing motor control blocks on antique machines due to solid state electronics, which run more efficiently than the old rheostat-based controllers that get hot with use. There's plugs for both the motor and the light. I'm very pleased with this unit's performance.

I recently bought a beautiful 1950s vintage Japanese made machine that came in a wood cabinet with a knee pedal. The way the knee pedal was installed made it difficult to use. The old wiring was in good shape, but I didn't want to mess with it to try to wire in a new foot pedal. This replacement unit works great. I can control the sewing speed as well as I can on my new Brother machine. The only thing it lacks is a way to mount the plug part into my cabinet. The old unit had a hole for a screw, but this ine doesn't. I used a command strip and installed two small "L" brackets for it to sit on, which keeps it from falling when I unplug the machine or move the foot pedal. Even if you have a foot pedal for your older machine, I recommend getting a newer one like this for safety reasons, and because the way the newer pedals work is easier on the motors. Great price too.

This was an easy Plug N Play option to replace the vintaged foot pedal that came with my Sewmor 900 sewing machine. The vintage pedal had no speed control - I could sew FAST or not sew. This certainly provides me with a range of speeds, but the full speed is about half as fast as the machine sewed with the original pedal. That's ok, as I am not a speed sewer. I was happy that it was as simple as unscrewing the old box from the case , screwing in the new, and plugging in the machine, however I did feel that both the pedal and the box felt very lightweight and flimsy. I'm not sure what the longevity will be.

It's almost like turning my 1927 Singer 66 into a new machine. Between this and the updated motor, I can leave it plugged in and not worry that my house is going to burn down from that old cracked and fraying cord while I'm in the other room. I wouldn't leave it plugged in unattended before. If you have an old machine with a questionable cord, don't hesitate. Just get the new pedal and cord. I didn't realize how stressed I had been about it until I got the new one and no longer had to remember whether I had unplugged it before I left the room. I had an antique lamp that started a house fire, so I know how fast it gets out of control. Worth every penny, many times over, to know the wiring is sound. Plus, the pedal is so much nicer to use, and it doesn't catch, grind or squeak like the old one. Some things are better old, like sewing machines. Some things shouldn't be used that old, like electrical wiring.

Purchased this to replace the knee pedal my white 2134 came with. It works perfectly and offers more speed control than my old pedal.

I have a White Sewing machine that I received as a gift in 1973. The old pedal was shot. I was thrilled to find that this Universal Pedal worked perfectly! It's like my vintage machine is brand new! The light and the motor plug in separately, just like the original. Everything plugged in easily and fit in my old cabinet. It was priced reasonably. I cannot believe I waited so long to replace the foot pedal.

I was very septical buying this as my sewing machine is from the 50's. The thought that a universal foot control pedal w/light and motor block being compatible made me leery. As soon as I received my package, I set up my machine to test it out. Everything works. So very happy. Thanks

Muy buen producto, funciona perfectamente y responde rapidamente al contacto.

I was a bit afraid since sewing machine wasn't listed in compatible list but it is working very well on old Omega sewing machine.

A mí en lo personal no me gustó la máquina no tiene fuerza al cocer

Works amazing i recomend it 👍
