First, sorry for my voice. It was very late at night when I recorded this after a long day of talking.
Sewing a curved waistband skirt sans pins. It is all in knowing how to control the fabric. Pinch fabric between your fingers on top and thumb on the bottom and turn you hand up where your thumb is pointing parallel to your chin. This prevents your feed dogs from moving your lower fabric faster than the top. In other words you control your fabric not your machine. ;)

![Slow down the Singer Heavy Duty Series on some USA Versions
This video is about how I slowed down the Singer Heavy Duty Series USA Versions I own.
PLEASE NOTE! This could possibly VOID your warranty. And since you are dealing with electricity then do so at your own risk as making a mistake can injure or it could even KILL YOU. You will want to UNPLUG YOUR machine before making any changes.
I reached out to Sewing Parts Online to find out which foot pedal they offered that allowed you to slow down the speed using the technique I presented in this video. If you order it please let us all know the results. Here is a link to it: [I removed the link - see note below]
UPDATE: I ordered this pedal and it DID NOT have the ability to adjust the speed.

Sorry for my sloppy clothing. I was recording this just before bedtime as often that is when I have time to create these videos after being asking by something that is having an issue. Hopefully, you will find it of some use. Slow down the Singer Heavy Duty Series on some USA Versions](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Kgxf2OXfxro/mqdefault.jpg)
