[QUOTE=Gray fox;7350036]Original hand cranks and the common reproductions mostly produce three stitches for each turn around, so you move along at a good clip. They are an absolute delight to sew with, and on fussy quilt piecing give amazing control."
I'm not sure how many stitches per revolution my converted 221 does, but it still isn't as fast as when she's in electric mode and I put the pedal to the metal and let her fly--I just can't crank as fast as I can pedal LOL!!!!
