[quote=vintagemotif]Well I did something I said I would never ever do. I purchased a machine off ebay. My latest is a Singer 328K, that I want to use in treadle. I like to finish off my bindings with a decorative stitch. I have been using my daughter's Threadbanger T-30 which can handle this type of work so far, but I have been worried about the machine being able to continue to handle this load since the machine has plastic parts. 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.
Last night I cleaned it up and played with all the flat cams and decorative stitches by use of the motor.[quote]
I know folks who use and like this machine. The major complaints I have heard have to do with a weak motor, which you are bypassing by using it as a treadle. I seem to remember than you have to make some modifications in the bobbin winder in order to treadle it. Do keep in mind, though, that it does have plastic parts inside. All Singers past the 603 have plastic parts.
