I am still such a newbie in the whole quilting world that I wanted to see the advice given to you. I agree with all of it and can't add anything more except that doing machine quilting on a treadle would be really interesting! I'm trying to think that through and figure out how that would work..do you have to move your feet to make the machine work like I"m thinking? For me that would be like patting my head and rubbing my stomach at the same time....couldn't do it :roll: :lol:
