You make me jealous, especially because of the Singer treadle. That is what I learned to sew on. I was very unhappy when my mother had a motor put on it.

I currently have a Singer Merritt and a Singer Scholastic. The Scholastic is the newer machine, but I prefer the Merritt.

Hey, purplefiend, I'm looking for a great older Pfaff, what can you tell me about your 1222 and others. What German-made models with IDT should I be looking for?
