I made a pillow case on my treadle. I did use the Janome for overcasting the top closed. This is my first item on the treadle. I discovered that the treadle does not do away with Jack. :| The over all experience was an educational one. I discovered I could not thread the shuttle. Thank goodness for hubby. I had the needle fall out and could not get it in straight. It was very interesting here last night. A lot of learning experiences. All and all I would say that I really like my treadle. I can hardly wait for my cabinet to come back so I can try my 66. Kathie
