Thanks for that link--I didn't have it and it looks promising.

Charlee, you are too kind....

I have a question about power supplies.

My 15 did not come with a foot pedal or.... can I use the power supply and foot pedal from one of my other machines..i.e. 301, 221, 191?????

I do not want to treadle it.. :)

you can re-wire it up any way you like - motor and foot control.

15-91 can't be treadled, so you're safe there! ;)

You can use the power cords from your other machines if they fit...I have a foot pedal and plug, but they'd need to be rewired...pretty nasty, they are!
