Here is another video showing some of the other designs, being made with treadle machines, by the Indonesian tsunami survivors:

REALLY remarkable. That 2nd video says they have just been taught how to use the machines. INCREDIBLE! I did look at the foot and it looks like they are using a straight foot. Thanks for the info.

I just did my first FMQing on a Singer model 15 from 1915.
First time I have FMQ, I think that it looks great, I'm so happy. I can't believe I can do it.
I just love this machine, got it for free on Freecycle.
Had it services at a local sewing machine shop.
Told them that I was going to use it for FMQ, was told that it would not work for that and I should buy a Berdina.
Ha, not going to do that!

Leah Day has a free motion quilting foot on her website that she sells and it comes available for all shank type machines. It is $7.95 and there is a tutorial on the page that you should watch.
Here is the site:
