Singer Fashion Mate Hand Crank!
I had so much fun treadling my Singer 237, I decided to step it up a notch and add a hand crank. Only one problem. With the solid hand wheel there is nothing for the finger on the crank to grab.

My solution was to drill a single hole through the hand wheel an push a screw through the back side.

Not the most elegant solution but it works well. Now I have a hank crank machine with zig zag and reverse.

I have seen a notch cut in the edge of a solid hand wheel to accomodate a hand crank, but that seems a bit radical. I prefer your solution for a solid hand wheel. Will a spoked wheel from a vintage Singer fit?
