Oh, I've already started pestering the dealer with questions! We met this dealer (sewing machine/vacuum shop) in a nearby town when he got my Mom's 1918 Singer treadle machine working again. DH has been talking to him for months about what machines are made best, since (according to the dealer) so many are made with "plastic gears" anymore. I'm a little concerned about the size of the throat, but I'll see how it works. If it's just too small, then (darn!) I guess I'll have a find a longarm friend, hmm?
