I've only run a few leather samples through it to see 'how' it works. Mine can be run treadle or electric as it did come with a motor. With the deep throat that it has I am seriously pondering if it could be used as a mid / long arm quilting machine as it has a 12-1/2" x 5 throat space. The big draw back is the small bobbin - but that might be able to be overcome depending on thread size used - a cast iron 4' tall beast from 1910 fmq'ing would be seriously cool.
