Most foot controllers are attached to the cabinet to be used as a knee control. If yours appears to be a foot pedal and the cords are long enough, you can probably remove it from the cabinet and try it on the floor.

SOURCE: I have a Riccar 555su

Hello

Get a manual for the 555, it should be able to give you enough knowledge for your machine.

If not look on the website www. riccar.com for a similar model.

Find out what shank your machine is and you should be able to buy parts for it. I find ebay great for sewing machine parts.

My riccar 555su machine starts sewing as soon as I plug in. Foot pedal is stationed inside cabinet by knee, but I'm not controlling it.

The pedal is stuck in the ON position. Unplug the sewing machine and try to open up the pedal to inspect it. Or try pressing the pedal a few time to loosen up the pedal movement. Good luck!.

Riccar 3500; can I get a piping foot for it? Thanks. Hayley

a piping foot is a normal foot with one side cut off
that allows the needle to be positioned next to the piping while the remainder of the foot holds the material down and progresses the material for sewing
to do double piping you would need to sew one in first then repeat the operation laying the second piping in next to the first lot

When I plug in my Montgomery Ward sewing machine, it just starts running.

there is a switch that is stuck on or a short in the control resistor
I would check to see if the knee control is set properly
have it serviced to fix the fault.

Machine starts but then stops & won't start again - problems w/knee control?

You probably have a loose wire in the on/off switch, what's wrong with knee control

Should there be a pedal with this machine (201K) purchased in 1953? What is the metal twisted bar for?

sounds like you have a cabinet model, yes this machine requires either a foot or knee control, the twisted metal is probably part of the knee control mechanism. order foot contrrol or knee control to fit the machine from [email protected]
