Maybe some day I could try it out but I am not sure that I have enough coordination for the peddle thing. I am not even sure how to thread or control it. Add one more 'challenge' on the 'to-do' list.
There is a wonderful online group "Treadle On" that will help you learn to use your machine. Please take the plants off the treadle cabinet, plant pee makes ugly rings on the wood and will warp it.
I'm a happy member of Treadle On. I love my treadles!
