OMG! You have my machine! Please toss the motor and put that machine in that treadle. Do you have the cams for this machine? This is the machine that uses cams for the decorative stitch, right?
Anyhow, I have been researching vintage machines that have the capability of decorative stitching that could be used in a treadle. And your machine looks like this could be the case.
Very NICE machine. Take good care of Jasper. And have fun treadling![/quote]
:) Tucked inside that treadle cabinet is a really lovely old Singer awaiting restoration. Jasper is going to be keeping his motor, as I like to leave my machines as original as possible. Yes, I do have some cams with decorative and buttonhole stitches, along with the instruction manual and a pile of extra attachments and the original carry case. Though you wouldn't want to be carrying it around much - it weighs a ton!
Have been really enjoying the posts about featherweights, but I'm not sure of their availability in Australia.....haven't come across one yet....but who knows!
