I took a survey of treadle base sizes a few years ago. The White Rotary treadle base measured in at 19 1/2". There are a few but not all that are "sit straight" style, but I think they are still in the 19" range.

Joe - I haven't checked it out myself but I think I read on the Treadleon website that the White cabinets are wider and position the needle directly in front of you instead of to the left of center.

My 31-20 with the larger treadle wheel is an easy, smooth treadler. Definitely not harder than the household treadles.

That's interesting. I didn't realize you'd need a larger drive wheel for some machines. I'd be afraid that would make others substantially harder to treadle.
I'm trying to remember where I saw a 31-15 treadle setup for sale. It wasn't silly cheap but it did have that industrial treadle base and, of course, the machine is a tank! |
I use 2, better control that way. I can treadle one footed with my Pfaff, its smooth!

I am a fairly new "treadler" and I watched You Tube Videos to learn how to treadle. Most videos show the two feet method. Would you believe that there are people who treadle in their bare feet!

I use two feet but simultaneously right left right left . . .

I have 2 feet on the platform. My right foot on the back right corner and my left toe on the left corner kitty corner from the right foot. Once I start it with my hand with the hand wheel, a light push with my right foot keeps it going and the toe taps the front to keep it in motion.

I use two, but I offset them a bit. Right-handed, so the right foot is a little higher....left foot is a little lower.
