I'm just saying this, in case your cabinet is like the one I had.

Thanks, no mine has a regular foot controller. There is a variant that apparently had some kind of a lever at floor level, attached to the cabinet. It stuck out on the (inside) right side, about half way back. That would be very nice,
I moved my 21 cabinet with a 15-91 to a different sewing space today and set the "new" 42 cabinet in it's place.
(in case anyone notices that the 21 is actually a treadle cabinet, the 15-91 sits nicely in it and doesn't disturb any of the treadle part).
It's time to move a few of these machines along. I have so many I hardly have room to use them. But I love them all!
