omak - I would love to do FMQ on a treadle, but am not sure about the technique. I believe that you need to have a certain speed to FMQ successfully.

The feed dogs on some treadles drop, but not on mine. There is a way to cover them, but I'm not sure how. (hence the need for some help). The major problem I can foresee, is that the bobbins don't hold a lot of thread, and for the 27, I only have one tiny bobbin.
