Search for "free motion embroidery on treadle sewing machine" in Google. There are quite a few videos to choose from. Here is one I did on a vintage Necchi - I removed the foot so the needle was bare as they demonstrat in the videos for the treadle machine. Notice that the embroidery hoop is wrapped with cotton fabric so that the base fabric is taught and stays taught.
