Nancy http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-SEWING-M...46ea0&x=22&y=2 It sold for over $400.00!!!! I kind of like it. It reminds me of my daughter's Volks Wagon 'Thing' (a car that was only made for 2 years back in the 70's)--it was bright orange just like the FW in the picture. Here is a link to a picture of an orange "Thing" : http://www.flickr.com/photos/photophonic/2523755066/ What a great color! Did you see this orange FW??? This is the color I want. I love, love, love it. Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope all is ok. Congrats on 400!!! Did you ever think you'd get there this fast? |
Billy:
I'm also wondering if you ever got hold of Judy. I'm still anxious to know how that turned out. I've sent you PMs, but haven't heard from you. Hope all is ok. |
Miz Johnny,
This is the 1st squarish coffin top I've ever had, I've got a mail box type for my other Singer treadle. I sewed with the new one all evening and its so smooth, even my Singer 237 zig zag is easier to treadle. |
Billy,
I'm having trouble loosening the handwheel to wind a bobbin on my 237; no clue how it got so tight; even DH can't get it loose. I use a "sidewinder" to wind my bobbins. Sharon W. |

But I have the motor/foot pedal/light assembly and case just in case I want to put it back together. Billy rubber belt on it that was too small for it. Its nice to have a zig zag treadle machine. |
Nancy,
Is it the stitch regulator or the tension regulator that you had set to 0? I played with my tension regulator after thinking that maybe you meant the tension and not the stitch regulator. First, I set the tension regulator to 0 which produced big loops on my bottom side of the fabric when I free motioned. Then, I set the tension to around 7 and the loops were gone. Try playing around with different tension settings until you no longer have loops ( if that was what you were referring to). Also make sure the thread in bobbin is the same as thread on top. |
