Oh, I had a good weekend. I re-homed two machines this weekend to some great people that were just so nice. The Dressmaker is gone as is the machine that I was holding for my honey. I think that they both went to the right homes. I get great satisfaction with that. But I digress. Because I freed up some space and the cabinet looked so nice, my honey (of all people) told me to grab this one today off of CL. That free space in the living room sure didn't last long.
I'm not so sure about the machine but the cabinet is so nice. I want to put my Blue Morse 15 clone in it and learn how to treadle with it. This is my first treadle. That sounds like fun to me to be honest. I'm worried about the handwheel size with it though. Is it going to be too fast and "jittery" with that size handwheel? This is the cabinet and the sad 66 taken from the ad.

This is my Morse clone that I would like to put in it in place of the sad 66.

Will this work? I don't want it to be too fast and I don't want to change out the handwheel either. Has anyone done this before? I could just keep the Morse electric and use the antique Singer cabinet to house it but I want it to do both as an option for each. Any and all input is welcome and you won't hurt my feelings. I want to learn here.
