Kenmore machines have a different hinge arrangement than Singer. Yes you can make a new top for the treadle base. Glenn has talked about cutting holes and fitting pieces together to hold various machines. We have tried carving up an old table top to fit in a treadle. It sort of works but doesn't look very nice. I think there maybe some old threads here or maybe on treadlon about the treadles if you have time to search. I wish there was an easy answer.
Thanks. You actually answered a question; I just wasn't sure what I was asking until your response. It is the top opening that makes a fit and not the treadle underneath. Thank you.
