I love my White Rotary! Yours here is a bit newer but still has the the awesome tension dial which was later changed. If you are more into treadles, this would be the one to switch over. I don't say 'convert' because the style really didn't change (at least as far as I can see) and appears White just stuck a motor on with a few changes necessary to drive the wheel. I have this model, I think, up in my attic I want to bring down and check over. Mildred, my White Treadle is really consistent but that may be because she never sat idle in her 103 years. For straight or wavy line quilting she is awesome. One does not do anything different than regular sewing except make a longer stitch length and just a wee turn of the foot tension. Changing the foot tension is the only close-to-complex thing on the machine. It has to be down in a certain sequence in relation to something else but have not committed that to memory. In fact, I have been doing some QAYG squares without even changing it from when I pieced the blocks and they look perfect. When I do this, instead of consulting the directions, I have to move the tension knob just a wee teeny bit. Wow. What a gift! You are going to love being back with an old friend. Oh, and I really like the handles on the cabinet. Gorgeous!
