I've been hunting for a "the Free" treadle cabinet because the people who sold me the head took the origina cabinet and treadle base apart to make coffee tables. AUGH! The gorgeous cab is the best part about that machine.

Keep looking....they come up on Craigslist here occasionally...

Will do...thanks, Janice. I bought that FREE machine for only $26. I wanted to check out something else besides the Singer brand and tinker with it a bit. I also wanted a challenge...a hunt for missing parts. I figured at that price, I can't go wrong. If anyone hears of a treadle base, cab, or accessories for the FREE, please let me know.

I also bought a "working treadle" to use right now, everyday. It's a Singer Red Eye with a pretty nice cabinet for $99. (The shipping is killer though.) Here's some pix of my latest love. I plan to use her every day. We're building a cabin that's off the grid, so electricity will not always be available. That shouldn't stop ME from sewing!
