Today he told me, "just go and buy a machine that is already done". So now my mission is to find the perfect treadle machine. Any suggestions on where to start? Thanks in advance :D

I love making baby quilts! Something SWEET about making them on vintage machines too. It's like the vintage gals just love baby quilt projects, all harmony and peace.
Congrats!

Congrats!

When you buy belts for the treadle machines, do you buy 3/16 (5mm) or 7/16 (8mm)? The last one I got was 3/16, but looked pretty flimsey. I wonder if the 7/16 is too thick for some of the machines. Any help here at all would be greatly appreciated.

Yes! I agree. I just finished a second baby quilt the other day. The first one is just cotton and second has the flannel for the back; both have the same top and fabrics. I had leftover fabric from the first; so, I made a second top. I looked around my leftovers for backing on the second quilt top and found the flannel. I like having the backing as flannel.
The quilting on the second one, flannel backing, was done on my Davis NVF. That machine loves to work with flannel. Quilting is excellent!!!
