The treadle part intrigues me. Can you imagine a zig zag machine in a treadle. I also like the case, but know what it is like to have too many machines. I would have been on the fence too. Depends on the room you have for it and if you could rehome it to a deserving person.

I have one. It is a singer 223. It is a straight stitch, zig zag and blind stitch machine. It is is very heavy and and produces a nice stitch.

I did. I have placed my 201-2 in the case. The 226 may be kept to go on my 66 treadle base, I haven't yet decided if I want to keep it or sell it. One day I'm going to have to stop this....

Jordon, my 223 does not take cams. Where do the cams go? I don't see a door on the top. Pat.
