I finally got my 401G to PP! I'm pretty jazzed. I've had it hooked up but it wasn't working right. It was slipping and the belt was shredding. I shortened the belt and stuck together with dental floss then I put a bushing between the machine and the balance wheel to give the balance wheel room for the belt. I'm wondering if it needs a heavier balance wheel. The end knob some times comes off. It still shreds the belt. I sure am getting a work out - legs are saying I had too much fun. I think I will like it for detail work - an electric goes way to fast some times. I also noticed that the lid with the stitch info has different information than the 401a.
I haven't tried to do anything with the 411G yet - it should be just about the same as the 401G. I also have a Bernina 530 that has electrical issues. I'm wondering if anybody has tried to treadle that one?
The computer my pictures is on went down - I'll try to get some up later.
