I think a stool is a good idea with the treadles. I use an old drummer's 'throne' for my Consew. No back on it and it scoots around great but I think a stool is better for treadling.
You're right, it is! You need a chair that doesn't scoot well at all...the stools are perfect! I have 3 of them, and love them!
My questions would be these:
How well do you KNOW Billy? Live next door? Been friends with he and Val for years and years? Or is it that you only know him from these forums, and don't really know him at all, other than what's he's told you and what you've seen him type to other people that he wants to have trust him?
How well do you know the ladies who are complaining that he has their machines, has had them in at least one case for YEARS (2)...has one woman's grandmother's machine....took one woman's money for selling her a machine almost a year ago that he still hasn't delivered on...and if you want to talk about someone who is ill...you should talk to her. These people trusted Billy with items that were precious to them, and he has broken that trust. He has lied repeatedly to them telling them that their machines are in the mail, and yet somehow those machines never reach their destinations.
There are two sides to every story, two shoes to every pair. You might want to try BOTH on before you decide one fits better than the other.

Thank you for answering my question.

I agree stools are better for treadleing but I do have one chair that is great for the treadle machine.

When it comes to Billy listen to Charlee for she knows what she is talking about. When I was in the furniture restoration business if I did something like this I would have gone to jail.
Also, attention should be made that Billy himself could pose as another poster here (a different avatar poster), who got a wonderful service from Billy, even though that never happened. I do hope the Quilting Board is watching for those posts.

Thinking out loud....should I ignore your post that you so wish others to take note and contemplate or should I post my question. I'll post.
So, you post this instead????
So, why I ask?
Justify your post here, sometime I can be a bit naive. Never met the man, only know him from his posting here on Quilting Board. Why should he be afraid to post on this board?
