Putting one whole foot on the pedal and only the toe of the second foot is the recommended method, but I doubt that is the preferred method with a treadle with feet! The main thing is practice practice practice! I remember when I started treadling, I'd just go back and forth and break thread! So frustrating! Now, that seems years ago as I don't even think twice when I sit down to treadle - since treadling is my preferred sewing method now!
Nancy Nancy Yup, just practice, practice, and more practice. I too prefer treadling over an e-machine...quieter than an e-machine. And the rhythm and motion of treadling is relaxing. I think they should put treadles in schools for kids that need motion to learn and retain information-like a reading corner. |

OK, now I know what my Dear Daughter the Artist will do with my machines. Could be worse, she could use the irons for tables. LOL

Ladies, my new home had one needle that I have misplaced!!!! It is 1916 what size needle do I need? I know it is real long. Thanks.

What a neat way to use old sewing patterns, make sewing machines with them. Now that's ART!!! I like it much better than what they did with the real machine parts.

Phylilis- My New Home is a 1917 and it takes a 20x1. I found them at a regular sewing machine shop. They did have some antique machines in their window.

Here is my Mother's Pfaff 130 in her new permanent home! This cabinet is so cool because the whole front comes out and it is a chair with 2 drawers in the chair! I can keep all the 130's attachments with the machine! She is set up in my sewing room where she should be along with my 319w treadle and my 1222e Pfaff (which is my first sewimg machine)!
Thank you Cathy for the help and the hinges! I will return the unused hinges when I pick up the mocha machine! Nancy |

Hey, cool-you got your hinges! That's a gorgeous cabinet. I wish mine had been in as good shape. Isn't it cool the way the chair fits in? I walked right past mine when I first saw it-I thought it was a sideboard or something. The guy that owned the shop had to point out it was a sewing machine cabinet.
