The following link shows you how to adapt a tabletop so that you can put a treadle machine in/on it.

I'd like to see it when you're done.

Hey Sharon!!! Thanks LOADS for that link. That is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Luckily someone on this board that I know has offered me the original top of a treadle with all the holes cut into it. I think it will make it much easier!! :-)
Janice,
I'm so glad that you got an easier solution. One of my treadles is what we call a "franken-treadle" it has the top from a Singer coffin top type treadle and the irons are Elgin made by Free, it works very well. The irons are so smooth and easy to treadle, has ball bearings in it.
