Think the spousal unit may have purchased a Rocketeer for me for Christmas...I pointed it out to him on Craig's list, and I know he checked it out on another computer... ~fingers crossed~

I am not sure I want to do it again either - I'd rather do bargello than that grid, but once I figured out how to do it, it actually went very fast! I did all the grid lines on the Two Spools then did a "flip and sew" putting the back and binding on and turning it right side out with the 15-88 treadle. No electricity was used on this little Santa!

You won't need many cams for the Rocketeer if it's the 500. The cams are built in. There are only like 4 or 5 cams that the 401 and 500 don't have built in, available for purchase...

Hi! I have a Singer Treadle without the big belt and would love to get the belt and get it up and running. Any suggestions on where to look for a replacement belt?
