I was given a big wide piece of faux fur, dark brown and very lush. I couldn't think of anything to do with it. The grandboys had no problem with what to do with it. It as been used as a cape to be a bear, tied to a stool to be a bull to rope, flying carpet, cave man.... I think maybe a children's play acting group may want it for a prop or costume accessory.

That is too bad. I have heard many say their treadles could handle many things that other machines can't.
Looks like you need a machine like in these videos

If I have something thick/coarse/bulky to stitch, I just automatically switch up to a heavy jeans needle and it can do wonders! You may be surprised at the difference that may make so you can get it stitched together.
(That is, if you can get the bulk of your faux fur fed under the needle.)
