I think a hand crank would be a great thing for my kids to practice on. Especially the 6 year old who really wants to sew but I'm still a little scared to let use the big machines.

Looking at my WFR in the crinkle finish with a motor, it doesn't look like there is any place to attach a hand crank. These do still have a spoked wheel, but I'm not sure how you'd retrofit a hand crank to it. The motor attaches to the back of the machine with screws. There is nothing like a "motor boss" as on the ends of most Singer machines.
The only one I've seen is here: White FR hand crank pic. I read somewhere (can't remember where) that White's were sold in the US, so not as many were made with hand cranks, mostly treadles and motorized versions. |

So, Pumpkin Patch, did you get the White Rotary with the crinkle finish? (I've got one in my garage...)
