For piecing it's my 1924 Singer 99-13 with knee control. For FMQ it's my 201-2 potted motor with knee control. For decorative stitches, my Necchi Supernova wins hands down. How can I pick just one? Impossible!

Any pictures of the class 15 ZZ with spoke hand wheel? I'm trying to picture that!

The only one I can think of might be the 1955 Gritzner-Kayser model 116a shown here.

Nope, it's just a badged Japanese machine with an added spoked wheel that just happened to have the motor boss in the right place to accept a hand crank. He put it in his Singer treadle base. Leon has done the hand crank conversion with one of his Japanese machines too.

Yep, that's what Jayce did with his Revere machine. Love it. I'm gonna do it to one of my Brother zigzaggers when I get everything situated and unpack all my boxes of parts.

I might just call it quits when I find it.

What brand and model is it? But I bet you'll find another rustbucket to bring back to life

These weren't as bad as the ones behind them [ATTACH=CONFIG]598698[/ATTACH]
