http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/fuo/1930029599.html It is a White machine, by manufacturer. Do you suppose that it is kept in the house. How long has it been since they opened it. I can't imagine how they did that without putting some marks in the dust. Ick. |

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/fuo/1930029599.html It's a White Westinghouse. When you raise the lid the machine comes up on a cable. So no finger prints or disturbed spiders. I have on like it minus dust and spiders. |

I was wondering something, is it possible to turn a reg treadle head into a hand crank?
Can you buy hand cranks for them? My niece wants to learn and someone said that hand cranks are easier for kids so I was thinking of putting a crank on my red eye. |

I have been using Boye sz 14 in all my National machines, but 20 x 1 (a common needle size) should work fine. If you're in a hurry, try a 15 X 1 and "cheat" the needle down a little in the holder. Just be careful not to put it too low so that it falls out or breaks. |

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/fuo/1930029599.html :oops: should have read further. I didn't realize there was a chain mechanism to lift it. Boy, they should have cleaned it up, though! |
