I've been wondering how a hand crank works. I just watched the video. I figured you started with the crank and then it just took off on it's own. That would wear me out having to crank each and every stitch, not to mention you only have one hand to guide your fabric. Cool as they are I don't think I would be interested in one.[quote=Miz Johnny]

Keep in mind this hand crank is not geared; it would wear me out in short order!!

I have seen 2 Featherweights converted to treadle use, and I seem to recall seeing one that had been converted to HC, but am a little fuzzy on the details.
