Hello, newbie just got my Juki1541S set up very excited to learn a new craft my question is what speed should I set the servo motor to? any help would be greatly appreciated Glenn.

For just starting out, set it as slow as you can/ can tolerate. Speed it up a little at a time as you gain skills and confidence.

I find mine is so controllable with the foot pedal it really doesn’t matter what the max speed is set to.

@glennco , I agree with Rev all of the sewing is in that foot, dont rely on a motor.

I just got the same machine and sometimes i accidently start out too fast. I've often thought it would be nice to slow it down but didn't know it was a possibility. How is it done?

A smaller pulley on the motor is a cheap and quick way, the other is a speed reducer which is a bit more expensive. Benefit to the speed reducer is while it slows the machine down, it increases the torque. There are tons of posts on building and/or installing speed reducers.

@glennco , if it came with a servo motor and you set it at the lowest number you are slowing slow.
