Would a sewing machine motor need a governor?

"Need", no probably not, but a governor would not be a bad thing to have either, as speed of operation would be desirable to have fairly consistent I should think. On small machine tools a governor would definitely be wanted, as cutting speed and feed control is very important, and would be achieved with pulleys and belts from a constant speed power source.
