[ATTACH=CONFIG]320473[/ATTACH]Monica, I know you modified that 328 so it would work in a treadle - and I thought that was amazing back when you did it, but now that I 'know' a little more about the machines, I ask why would anyone want to get a machine to treadle that they have to modify when there are several that can be just dropped in a treadle without any modification? I guess, if you already own a machine you just want to treadle - but, I have a thing about modifying the machines? Joe, you can get a 319, 306, 206 that just drop in a treadle with no modifications at all! All you have to do is remove the motor, put the machine in any Singer treadle, hook up the belt and go! The 319 has about 30 cams for decorative stitching and it has 5 (I think, I will have to look) built in stitches for satin and zig zag. You can also combine those built in stitches with the cams to make your own versions of decorative stitches. So, I ask why anyone would want to get a machine that had to be modified? I guess, I could understand it if the machine was just one you absolutely loved, or I think Monica got that 328 for free, but still if you want to treadle a more 'modern' type machine get one that doesn't need modifications.

By the way, after my grandson did his number on my 319w, and I spent two days trying to fix it - I made two pillow shams last night for his (grandson's) bed to match the Dinosaur Train quilt I made him last summer! Not one skipped stitch! I am so proud of myself for fixing that machine! She just purrs away while I treadle her!
