ncbrobst Report post Posted May 21, 2013 I'm looking to buy a treadle sewing machine. I have an electric singer one and it is just too fast for me. I really would like one that was/could be used as a patchwork machine. Arm doesn't have to be long but enough room to move breastcollars around in would be great. Would need to be shipped to Kansas or close to the area. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

makitmama Report post Posted June 10, 2013 well, I have 5- but Virginia is a little far from Kansas. Some things to remember... if you get a standard singer treadle, then most singers and many clones will fit. Many of us vintage SM freaks do combinations like this. So if you find a great treadle cabinet, then grab it and then locate a head. Let me know what specifics you want in the machine and I can steer you in the right direction. An alternative is to get a handcrank machine. Once again, you can buy an old singer and convert it to handcrank. If you want to do so, then make sure that the machine has a large spoked handwheel and a motor boss below it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
