    I never saw anything like that before - quite interesting. Will have to Google and if I find anything I'll come back and let you know.

    It's just regular darning on a cylinder bed machine.That's how I was taught to darn, but I usually do it with zig zag. Nice technique, now I have to go try to copy it with a free arm machine.

    I really liked how he was rotating the arm. Maybe it was only just the fabric. It was cool watching how he fixed denim.

    True true but... you know... Power! lol I too was a zig zagger then i saw embroidery done on a 15 treadle. Which BTW was truly ah-mazing! I just kinda thought the arm was a nifty thing.

    That would make it a pretty rare machine to me.
