    I think this is a great deal. I have two treadle cabinets with no machine. I am going to look in to it further. Thanks for posting.
    I am too POSITIVE to be doubtful, too OPTIMISTIC to be fearful and way to DETERMINED to be defeated.

    My mother had a Singer fitted with a hand crank that just fastened to the hand wheel with a folding piece that fitted into the wheel so she could use it, or disengage it if she didn't want to use it. It is still on the treadle machine.

    I wonder if that person (designer) went to the Tenn TOGA gatherings. That is a beautiful machine, but I notice that they have more than halved (halfed) the price. Maybe they'll soon figure out a way to put a hand-crank on it--heads up Skip/Glenn.
    Make every day count for something!

    Did anyone else look at the video about 3/4 of the way down on the page! If not check it out - very cute. A bicycle powered sewing machine!

    It looks like a neat idea! Great for those power outages as well.

    Yes, but what if you don't have a cabinet to put it in? Where do you get one? Can you get a NEW hand crank machine now?
