Sew...Nancy!!
I spent the afternoon playing with my Necchi Supernova Ultra. Fun!! machine.

You asked me how well does it treadle. Very nicely!!!

I found it very easy to FMQ with after I made some adjustments to the upper tension. I felt the Necchi was easier to use for FMQ than the Singer 15-90. Can't pinpoint why that is so. The Singer is in what I consider to be the better of the two treadles.
I'm tempted to move the Necchi out of the straight-leg and into the treadle that the Singer sits in, just that the Necchi is HEAVY.

Lovely stitches from the Necchi.

The Necchi has tons of decorative stitches that I'm still playing with. I can't say that the decorative stitches are prettier or better than the Singers' 401A or 328k at this point. I guess I'm missing Hank the Tank, my Singer 328k. I turned him back into an e-machine the other night. I might still use him for my decorative binding since there are a couple of stitches that I like from him.

This is turning into a saga, sorry.
