thank you all! Much to think about.  Was considering changing to a servo to have more control over speed.  I have practiced long and hard with my clutch motor and just can't get the hang of starting off slow.. its absolutely driving me nuts.  In the mean time today, I picked up a smaller pulley to see if that at all helps with controlling the speed.

Thank you all so much. I will certainly try some of your suggestions.
I basically have a hard time starting off slowly.. it seems to go 0-100 no matter how gently i press the petal =(.
Its extremely sensitive.

So frustrating because it is the only thing holding me back from making projects without screwing them up!

I have read about possibly changing the pulley to a smaller one.. has anyone had any success with this?

I have a juke LU 562 with a clutch motor.

Was thinking of changing to a servo motor. 

Has anyone changed motors on their machines?  Is there anything I should know before switching over? Will it effect my sewing machine (negatively) if i change over to a servo motor?

I recently purchased a used juke lu 562 with a clutch motor.  I am new to sewing on an industrial sewing machine.

Is there any tips to help control the speed on this machine? 

People keep telling me that i will "get used to it."  And after much practice and creating small projects like box cushions, I still feel like controlling the speed is very very difficult.  Once I get it started I am able to slow the speed down, but starting off really slow is difficult and I was wondering if there is anything I can do/alter/fix to make the speed more manageable for a newbie such as myself. 

PLEASE HELP ME!
