pedal smoke sew
I don't know sewing machines but I know enough to know that there's no fuse in the pedal and broken fuses seldom smoke. Have seen several similar problems reported on here and the experts always say it's a blown up capacitor - a relatively simple and cheap fix for someone confident with capacitors.
Good luck...
