Is this the same idea of turning a machine into a hand-cranked machine? I know with a treadle one cannot sew in reverse. Can you go in reverse with a hand-crank? Ideas floating through my mind...
Dawn, you need to find one with a motor that is bolted onto the back of the machine with a belt that goes to the handwheel. A potted motor is built into the back of the machine, and you cannot take it off at all. Information given above was incorrect.
