I use treadle machines exclusively, and I own around 12 treadles and a few parts machines to boot ! :mrgreen: I do all of my FMQ with my Japanese 15 that I converted to treadle. To me it seems I have more control over the whole process with using a treadle, plus the quilts take on a personality and you can actually feel and see the love in them.

As far as the extension its going to be a sheet or two of 3/4" plywood sanded smooth and finished with a urethane (so it will slide better). It will be able to be set and taken down easily and store nicely in the studio. I am still working the logistics of this one out in my head so it might be a while before its built. But I am shooting for a 140"x 132" work space for the quilt to lay on.

And yeah where are the other guys at I want to see their work!!!
