Whew! I'm back again! Haven't been around much this past week or so...we had our Christmas party last night, and may I say, as much fun as we had, I am SO glad it's over! LOL Every day off and every evening for the past couple of weeks has been spent baking cookies or making candy, when I would have rather been playing with machines!
Think the spousal unit may have purchased a Rocketeer for me for Christmas...I pointed it out to him on Craig's list, and I know he checked it out on another computer... ~fingers crossed~

the Rocketeer shares cams with 401, 403, 500, 503 and some of the Touch and Sew machines - the 503 has a bit more flexibility with stitch width if you have all the cams.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]296361[/ATTACH]Here is the little Santa wall hanging I had to do on my Two Spools Treadle to get the grid lines straight! It is made using that fusible 1" grid, which I had never done before. I am not sure I want to do it again either - I'd rather do bargello than that grid, but once I figured out how to do it, it actually went very fast! I did all the grid lines on the Two Spools then did a "flip and sew" putting the back and binding on and turning it right side out with the 15-88 treadle. No electricity was used on this little Santa!

You won't need many cams for the Rocketeer if it's the 500. The cams are built in. There are only like 4 or 5 cams that the 401 and 500 don't have built in, available for purchase...

Ah yes...but my 403 only came with the #2 cam, and no attachments....so I have my eyes open for more....

Nancy, your Santa is so cute. Do you have a pattern you can post on line?
JlJack, Sorry to hear about your mom. Hope things get better for you and your family.

Hi! I have a Singer Treadle without the big belt and would love to get the belt and get it up and running. Any suggestions on where to look for a replacement belt?
