cindyg19-I'm glad I encouraged you to possibly try out your treadle.

QuiltE-yes, the big clunky thing is a buttonholer, one of the few accessories that I did know.

GreatStarter-buttonholer

sparkys_mom-what I came up with, from the right of the needle to the big post,(I hope you understand what I'm talking about), is 8 1/2" and roughly 5 1/2" in height from the top of the bed to the bottom of the arm.

annthreecats-yes, I do eventually plan on restoring both machine and cabinet.

That's a pretty respectable throat size. Thanks for checking.

sparkys_mom- you're entirely welcome. I'm so glad my dh let me get it, I only have 9 other machines, but no treadles, so he said I did need a treadle. Isn't he great?

Wow! My grandmother had one just like it. Does it use a long bobbin instead of a round one? I remember sitting on the treadle.

Lmiller1647-no, it has the round bobbin, but I do have another Singer, in a wooden case that has a shuttle bobbin. I need to restore it also, along with another 2. LOL
