Those are amazing. I want to look more when I have more time than tonight. Gotta work tomorrow. I have some questions, but when I can form some thoughts. Maybe the thoughts will help me find a machine that will work for me. My mother had a treadle singer and a minnesota. Ah fond memories.

This is a great thread with wonderful tips,thanks!
