A 3:1 reducer, and a small pulley (2") on the servo should make it much more manageable. I went through the same process to slow my machines down. Another option is to replace the handwheel with a large pulley, which will have the same effect. When I bought my 335 it was set up as a binder, and at that point in my "education" I had no idea about what that was. I bought it with another machine because the guy wanted it gone and I got it dirt cheap ($250 Aus)! After much experimenting, and learning, I've gone back to using it as a binder, so don't write off yours just yet as you may find it useful down the track.

And see how much you've learned in just a short time.

Knowledge is key! sometimes it’s free and sometimes an education is expensive haha.

being able to hang out at Ryan Neels shop for a few hours while he worked on my machine. I was able to stand over his shoulder and learn a lot and I am so thankful for that!!!

dikman if my ol’lady wasn't on my hind-end all the time I’d have 4 or 5 machines that I’ve had my eyes on hahah

Hey Wiz will a 3:1 get me down to a slow crawl? With my skill level, the slower the better! Also is there any brand of speed reducers i should go with?

A 3:1 reducer will reduce your motor speed to 1/3rd whatever it is at the motor pulley. If your motor starts with a jerk at 100 rpm, it would start with a jerk at 33.33 rpm with the reducer. I've had motors like that and got rid of them, replacing them with Family Sew FS-550S servo motors with 2 inch pulleys and speed reducers.
