So, I have been on a hunt for a machine to use in treadle that has cams for decorative stitching. I do hope that this machine will work out well for what I wish to use it for.
I dont want to be the one to bust your bubble love but that machine will not work in a treadle. The bed is the same length as the slant shank machines and are a couple of inches longer (they are 16" instead of the standard 14" ). I have one just like it here at the house and I was going to put it into my 500A's cabinet and keep the machine in the sunroom but I am going to put it up for sale with all of my other electrics.
But you can cut the hole out bigger in the treadles top and make it work.
