You have said some very bad words, faux-quilter. You said Plastic Cases. You said Walmart. Tisk tisk. Go wash your mouth out with TriFlow.

Look at the metal bit to the right of the machine; it sure looks like a treadle fitting, does it not?

I will ask about the bobbin case. Is it compatible with others, or funky? If you feel like snapping a photo of yours (ie open up the stitch plate and show me what lurks...) that would be really interesting! Is it a vertical or a horizontal bobbin?

I wonder it the base is the same size as a Singer, and thus would a singer box be compatible? It also looks as though it balances just fine without a base; am I wrong?

I am NEVER going to get to be a good sewist if I keep collecting and tinkering... ;-)

Oh, also curious; when you mention comparing it to a Pfaff; does it, too have a double (flax/linen?) timing belt in it?

The machine is a good distance away on public transit, so I would want ot be fairly sure before making the schlep.
