Default First project on my treadle table

I've been practicing sewing on fabric scraps on the 1904 Singer 27 treadle machine I got last February.

There's definitely a learning curve on where to put your feet on the pedal, how to backstitch, how to keep your fabric from moving when your body is pedaling...so the fabric doesn't wiggle. (Wiggling is for dancing, NOT sewing.)

Anyone have any hints or tips on how to keep seams straight when pedaling??? (Please?)

My cabinet does a little jiggle thing too even though I checked all the screws and they're tight. Any ideas for that one too?

Decided to make my first project on it for more practice. A whimsical, completely non-authentic, Tudor-ish style quilted apron.

I plan on wearing it when sewing so I don't get sewing poop on the front of my clothes anymore. The sewing poop will be on my apron instead.

Ms. Vicky Dressform is modeling it for us here.
