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.

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.

The wooden pitman arms can be fabricated. There is a web site, (Treadle On?) that has an article on how to do it.

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!
