Seems like when I am sitting I try to feather the pedal and I end up pressing too hard and it takes off! Gary Guess you need a speed reducer then Quote ~ Keep "OLD CAST IRON" alive - it´s worth it ~ Machines in use: - Singer 111G156 - Singer 307G2 - Singer 29K71 - Singer 212G141 - Singer 45D91 - Singer 132K6 - Singer 108W20 - Singer 51WSV2 - Singer 143W2
Uwe Posted March 12, 2018 Report Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) I made another trip to UofM today. There it was - a perfect tall BioFit task/shop/sewing chair, no wheels, like new, $20. Now it's here, next to my blue chair. Edited March 12, 2018 by Uwe Quote Uwe (pronounced "OOH-vuh" ) Links: Videos

Members leathersmyth Posted March 13, 2018 Members Report Posted March 13, 2018 I have stools that were made by singer. Big heavy cast iron with a screw part and a wooden top so you can adjust up as high as you need. Kind of like a piano stool... Quote
