Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Well friends of the shop, I just took a loaf of bread out of the bread machine and it smells so good. Come Join me for a cup of tea and hot bread and butter or homemade blackberry or peach jam. We can talk about our latest project. I am in the middle of sewing quilt rows together and need a brake.

Does anybody know what the best belt to buy is - my little 99 needs a belt.
Joe, then trade one of your 66 treadles for a 15-88 treadle! I use my 15-88 all the time because it has a beautiful stitch, drops its feed dogs, and it has reverse! So cool to treadle a machine with a back tack and FM! I also treadle my 319w, which not only has reverse, but it has lots and lots of decorative stitches!

Joe, has a Sewmor 404 that is like owning a Singer 15. It can backtack and drop the feed dogs, just like the Singer 15s. All he needs is a manual, even a Singer manual will work to see how the Sewmor operates.
The Sewmor can be treadle too!
Just like the e-machine, FMQ on the treadle take practice. The smoother the treadle, the easier it is; otherwise, it is a workout.

Nancy, I know that you don't always read the other vintage sewing machine threads. I'm trying not to now that there are so many, but I did notice Joe's on his Sewmor. http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...a-t179348.html

I will be doing straight line quilting, using my Davis NVF for that.

At this point I just don't have a treadle with a back tack.
I treadle a 201 that doesn't have a spoke wheel. Purplefiend does too; from one of her posting of her 201 in treadle, I learned that it could be done.
