Looking forward to pictures! I once had a Janome TB-30, but it's now my daughters, along with Singer 15-91.

If I win the lottery I'll buy it for you then I'm going to go to the grocery store and line up all the pickles in the isles and go bowling...... Then I'll buy flowers for everybody.

This one is put together using the staple from the original belt...

Thanks Charlee, I will give it a try. I hope to move some cabinets this weekend and get another treadle set up.

Nope! I didn't touch the pressure on the foot. I gave it a test run and it work. The foot doesn't hop like on the darning or hopping foot. It's a bit different from FM on a Singer where you drop the feed dogs.
Next time I will have to play with the pressure on the foot.

Once I get my VF into her base I'll be able to try it.....still sitting on a box! (sigh) Wish my DH could realize just how impatient I am getting!!! (grrrrr...soft grumbling).
