YDK Sewing Machine Universal Foot Control Pedal - Will Fit Brother, Singer, Janome, Toyota & More Sewing Machines

This was a replacement for a pedal on an old (1970s) sewing machine. I am fairly sure that the actual problem I had was only the capacitor in the old pedal as the machine was running on at full speed - however it just seemed as good an option to replace the entire pedal unit (I may swap the capacitor in the old one at another time, just didn't have time to be hunting around for individual components and the original pedal was also a bit tatty and held together with tape!). These are reasonably well made pedals and you will find lots of information on here and other places on the net about wiring them etc, but I just wanted to say that for the price and ease of just buying a new pedal this worked a treat for me. These work on the "switched" live wire and see the review on here with the pics that tell you how to do it...I followed that one and it was all fine (although I have a fair bit of experience with this type of stuff anyway). I brought mine from Couling Sewing Machines and their service was absolutely excellent as I ordered over the bank holiday weekend and it still came within two days - way quicker than the listing! Thanks Couling! Totally recommend this to anyone who needs a generic foot switch for their machine! Good luck :-)

Excellent replacement for the original pedal. Arrived as promised. No fitting instructions but really easy if you are used to electrical diy. I cut the old connectors off of the original lead. Added the black piece of sleeving (supplied) to the main lead to protect the lead where it enters the pedal through the strain relief clamp, and slid it up the lead out of the way. Stripped the wires and connected the 2 small spade connectors supplied with the padal. Soldered the spade connectors to the wires, just to make sure they dont come off. (that's just me though). Added 2 pieces of my own heatshrink sleeving and then the 2 pieces of fireproof sleeving supplied. Plugged the 2 spade connectors on to the 2 small tags, heated the heat shrink sleeving to shrink it nice and tight. Slid the black sleeving back down so it sits in the groove where it enters the pedal, fitted the cable clamp and fitted the bottom of the pedal cover. Just one thing to note, one of the leads on the surpressor capacitor was not soldered in properly, so I had to resolder it, but it's fine. Job done, works a treat. Thanks very much. Stuart.

Having just started to learn to use a sewing machine on an old Singer 416 I was struggling with the speed as it wasn't possible to go slow. After trying adjusting and cleaning out the old pedal and tricks such as using blocks to stop it being fully depressed etc it was clear that there was no way to get the thing to run slow so I tried this replacement pedal as per one of the previous reviews and this has solved the problem. I can now run 1 stitch per second with ease if I wish and its made a huge difference and saved me from forking out on a whole new machine. I found it very easy to fit with no soldering required.

Came with all the bits needed to attach your existing sewing machine cable, very quick & easy to switch over (our old sewing machine pedal had exactly the same type of connectors). Seems to work fine. The only criticism I have is that when you first press down the pedal it doesn't seem to have a gradual take up - it hums louder and then suddenly starts running at full speed. Once it's running, you can slow it down and speed it up. So not ideal, but good enough for the money.

Bought to replace a failed “Sew-tric” foot pedal on a 1962 Brother sewing machine. Had previously ordered a cheaper alternative from Amazon but that one did not include some necessary screws and the cord-grip, so was returned. Photos and comments from previous reviews for this item were invaluable in knowing where the wires were to be connected, but I still made a mess of it. The package includes a pair of clips to attach to the end of the wires, which should then slide on to the corresponding spades in the foot pedal. However, in soldering the wires to the clips, some of the solder ran into the clips and obstructed the channels such that they would no longer slide onto the spades in the foot pedal – perhaps I should have just “crimped” the clips onto the wires instead of soldering, but too late now. Repeated attempts to force the clips on kept bending the spades, which were then in danger of breaking off which would have been game over. To solve this, I cut off the clips, stripped back the wires, hooked them through the holes in the spades and soldered them directly in place. After assembling the controller, plugging everything in and pushing down the pedal, the sewing machine eased back into life, at which I couldn’t help but do a little dance of joy and hug my mother. A couple of months later and the new pedal is still going strong. It is very pleasing that a complex, well-engineered sewing machine, used regularly for over sixty years without other issue, has been given a new lease of life by such a reasonably priced replacement controller. Recommended, as long as you have at least some idea of what you're doing.

We have an E&R Classic Sub 22 machine which isn't used much. It was needed recently but there the pedal had lost its speed control and would only act as off or full speed. Ordered this to try get some control back. What a great kit. It is designed to replace your existing pedal but using the existing cable, The kit comes with the pedal and bottom plate, 5 screws (3 for the plate and 2 for the cable anchor), the plastic cable anchor, 3 different insulating sleeves and two crimp/solder on spade terminals. We popped the base off the existing pedal by levering near its pivot point (see photo), The existing cable was attached to the board by two spade terminals and the cable entry secured by a metal plate. The plate lifted up with pliers and we gently wiggled the spade terminals from the base (photo shows pedal after removing the cable with terminals at the bottom and cable securing plate lying on the right). The existing spade terminals easily slid onto the new pedal without the need to use the new spade connectors. A bit of whittling down of the plastic block securing the old cable had it fitting into the new pedal recess and could then secure it with the new anchor plate (see photo). Three screws to secure the base and it was done in less than 10 minutes. A quick test and the speed control was restored The unit seems well built with a clever mechanism to vary the speed or fully pressed to connect the power straight through. The shape of the pedal is much better than the original cheese wedge shape and is very comfortable to put your foot on. Definitely a comprehensive kit which would be usable even if the existing pedal hadn't had spade connectors. Definite improvemend in quality on the existing pedal and has restored the speed control to our machine, the lack of which was making it almost unusable. Definitely recommended if your pedal has given up or is just acting as an on/off switch.

I have bought this for my wife as her Brother Electronic pedal stopped working in slow speed. She tried to follow instructions from comments, but at the end she cut the lead on the old pedal, reconnected brass connectors from the old pedal to blue and brown wire cables and snapped them on sticking contacts in the new pedal. She said the new pedal works like a dream as she can sew really slow on tricky bits.

The connection points are very fiddly. This may be why it would not revive my elna and I can see it worked for many other buyers, but for me it did not work

Meine über 40 Jahre alte Husqvarna Nähmaschine hat sich sehr über dieses Ersatzteil gefreut und kann nun hoffentlich viele weitere Jahre ihren Dienst tun.

Perfecto para Refrey 427 Transforma, el montaje no es difícil. En mi caso no tuve que pelar cables ya que coincidía con los del pedal anterior. Ahora puedo controlar la velocidad de costura de la máquina.

Excellente !! À sauvé ma pfaff 360 automatic

È arrivato con largo anticipo! Fantastico. Il pacco era molto ben confezionato e il pedale ben protetto. L'ho subito montato e funziona perfettamente! Che dire fantastici professionali e super consigliati come negozio e professionalità!!!
