Thanks, Steve -- It's a great idea that I might have to implement if I keep collecting treadle bases & machines. I should just stop now & be happy with my current collection (but only *after* I find some irons for my Wilcox & Gibbs).
I just *love* sewing on a treadle. It's so relaxing, compared to my 99 which feels (& sounds) like a machine gun, with matching speed that is not relaxing either!
