luckily I had to run home at lunch so...
The single layer of vinyl (sewed the two layers, then split it and tried again with one to try the 4 stitches per inch)

the foam sandwich top
[ATTACH=CONFIG]535088[/ATTACH]
bottom (only the white thread is from this machine, the blue is a handcrank experiment)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]535089[/ATTACH]
and for extra points on the Quiz.... can anyone tell me what makes this industrial foot pedal so special?
(it was an upgrade option for tailor tables)

I love the old industrial machines! I too want to know what is special about the pedal, my IM has a tiny treadle pedal. Not too much foot space. Maybe they had smaller feet back then. That's okay, I don't need to sew that fast.

That's a beautiful earlier industrial I have that on my want list.!!
A couple of you were very close, it is the filled in bottom row but that filled in bottom row is actually over an inch and a half deep there. its extra weight at the bottom of the pedal to make it easier to continue treadling once you started

Cool! Egad, that must really crank up the power on that! Would love to know how much extra weight is down there and how much increased speed that gives.
Thanks Steve, I love this oldie. Sadly the feed dog lost a few of the teeth on the smaller side and pulls a bit when sewing straight. I have all but given up on finding a replacement as the design is unique to this machine. I save this machine for free motion quilting. I would love to use it for more.
