Y'all will find the humor in this. We finally made it out of the house and into town to run a few errands. I told hubby as we were driving into town that I was waiting to hear back from a lady on CL so I could go pick up a treadmill. Aside from sewing machines its the only thing I've been looking for on CL because I haven't been able to run since moving out here. Anyway, She was supposed to call me when she got home and we could swing by on the way home and pick it up. I told him I was paying 25.00 for it. A few hours later we are just about finished with our errands and she texts to say she's home. As we are heading over there Zach asks me, now how many treadles do you already have and whats so special about this one?! I think his brain automatically assumes everything I buy that isn't food is sewing related. :)

You for sure got your $20 worth. You are going to have to do some clean up. The bobbin case is going to set you back a bit. I got one for a FW from sew-classic and it worked just fine. Texas Jan |
Jan let me double check before you get that casing to make sure i dont have an extra one. I should have looked closer when i was trying to see if Alex had one for it and made sure i grabbed the right one.

Jan,
Yes, I believe some of the early 9W's did use the donut bobbins. I don't know if you can use the 221 / 301 bobbins in them or not. Both of mine came with the flat sided bobbins and I don't have an example of the other one to try. Joe Texas Jan Texas Jan |

Chris,
I'd love to see pics of it. I'll never understand some people. 50 years ago when treadles were more common using them for flower planters could be understood ... sort of. But now, I don't know. The wooden pitman arms can be fabricated. There is a web site, (Treadle On?) that has an article on how to do it. Joe I believe I have reas an article on how to manufacture to wooden pitman arms/rods but can' remember where now. I'll get pictures tomorrow and post them on here. |
you hoo everybody, Glenn has a very, very nice rewired Singer 15 he is wanting to sell. I donno what he wants for it If you live anywhere near here or Huntsville or between give a yell and he might drop it by. It will be reasonable.... He's off line until he goes home though so yell at me... If you live somewhere else I'll help him pack it up. I'm real good at it... I understand you almost can't get the machine out... LOL...

Miriam, if I find a Morse Fotomatic will it fit into the Morse 300 cabinet? I've been on this board for a bit over a year. During this time, I have learned SO much from everyone! Thanks to all ya'll!
