Davis Vertical Feed Treadle
I just bought a Davis Vertical Feed treadle machine for $15. She had said it was one with a hand crank, but was mistaken. For the price I took it anyway! When I saw it I thought it would be another for the Evapo-Rust line, but after putting oil in all the holes and soaking the oil pad for the shuttle it began to move smoothly and quietly. It will still get things soaked a bit, but that seems to actually be minor. I downloaded a manual, but it was for the Vertical High Arm and they have differences, such as what is the small lever above the presser foot lever? Is it possible to put a Hand crank other than the new type on this machine? If not how have others found the new type. I don’t have a treadle stand to put it in.
Manual?
Hand crank?
