Funny you post this.
When I picked up the Davis NVF that had a motor on it (2nd machine after the Davis NVF in treadle), the guy showing me that the machine worked was SO impressed at how fast it would stitch. It was like watching a kid...look at this...I just chuckled. When I got home, I immediately removed the motor. I swear that the machine relax; it was like a huge weight was removed from it. I don't think it like the motor.
