Switch sewing machine heads from the Singer 328k to the Singer 15-90. I love that aquarium tubing to use for treadle belt over the leather belts. The tubing grips the machine and treadle wheel very well, no slipping occurs.
Okay, I still say FMQ on a 15 class machine is the best. I was surprised at how well the FMQ was on the Singer 201 and 328 (both in treadles), but I must say the best is the Singer 15 (mine is 15-90 in treadle). There are no issues in the thread appearance top or bottom, while there were lots of tweaking done for the 201 and 328 to make a pretty stitch.
Although I'm not the best FMQer (still need lots of practice) here is a sample of the work done today. Next test is darning spring with fabric in hoop. I love this spring!
