Darcene I went out to the Studio and set the machine in the treadle I have out there and low and behold it fir like a glove. So Wheeler & Wilson beds (at least the D9) fits the Singer treadles!!
Anywhoo I just knocked the dust off of the machine and started oiling it up to see if I could get it running again before I tore into it. Let me tell you after some serious oiling it was running smooth as glass!!!
I was on the phone with one of our members (that shall remain nameless ;) ) while I was oiling it up and getting it to run again and she was sooo thrilled to hear it run so smoothly!!! For a bit there it was doing some squealing and squalling before the oil got to everything it needed to.
I ran it in for about 30 minutes while talking to her and I can say that I am very excited to have this machine!! I am going to go and get some needles to use in her so I can sew something with it and see how she acts.
Thank you so much and if I think about it I will post a video of the machine on You Tube and post the link here so you guys can see the beauty in action. Maybe later on this weekend I will tear it down and service it so I can use it for my very next quilt I make.
