Nancy,
Thank you for mentioning that. I haven't used mine to attach bindings yet. I keep treadling it in an attempt to reduce its noise and clunkiness. I have plastic under the treadle base that has collected little pools of oil because I am always adding oil thinking that will help the treadling be easier. Maybe that noise and clanking is just part of the beast and it will never be as quiet as my other machine models. I do not see myself ever parting with it though as I consider it a "keeper". Again, thanks, it is good to know that this is a "work out" machine!
