Teacup and Deedum- thank you, I've watched the video. Clingfilm is working fine for the moment, and I may yet upgrade to the vinyl, but won't bother trying the slider.
Jljack - interesting that the ladies with the expensive machines couldn't do it. I've done some more FMQ today and yesterday on a wall hanging. Not perfect, but I'm pleased enough with it. When I say you need to go fast on a treadle, I mean with your feet! This way the needle moves fast, but the hand movement is much slower. Fast treadling with cotton gloves on in warm weather means you end up baking.
