All you experts, what do you know about this type of machine? Would it be the type that could be used for that?
And the table - looks like it is at a height for standing???
Another question - I know nothing about industrial machines - Why are there electrical cords AND a treadle pedal? Is the pedal for a different use on this machine? Or is it just a giant foot control for the machine?
They do have a nice harp. They are H.E.A.V.Y. They have a very wide foot control and a big washing machine size motor. They will go VERY fast. I bet you could put one on a treadle. No you do not stand - at least I haven't seen any. These were used for sewing pieces of fabric together one right after another - production. I don't know all that much about free motion on those. It sure would be something to learn. These go VERY fast with that big motor.
