Hello Tammy.

There is a mal-function in either the sewing machine or the foot control, or the junction. It would be good to find out which one is faulty. If the power and foot control leads are joined, there is no easy way to distinguish the location of the problem.

If your foot control and power leads are separate, disconnect the foot control and check if machine continues to sew by itself. If yes, the problem is with the machine. If no, the foot control is either stuck or malfunctioning. In either case it is best to take it to your local qualified technician.

My Memory Craft 8000wil not adjust the speed. It works for 8 seconds and then just stops. It only goes faster on the high speed setting and then just stops. It will only go two speeds slow and fast.

I believe this machine can operate without the foot pedal attached. Disconnect the foot pedal and try using Start/Stop button. If same symptoms with pedal detached then likely problem is speed control module inside machine.

My Viking 5710 starts to sew without any pressure on foot pedal

Mine does the exact same thing. I think the problem might lie in the cord to the foot pedal. The cord packs into the foot pedal for storage, which forces the cord to to remain bent during storage. I believe the wires in mind became damaged and broken so I took it apart and reconnected the wires at the spot where the connector meets with the wires. But I still don't leave it plugged in if I'm not using it, it could be a fire hazard.
