Gray Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Stuff the electric shite. Find a nice Singer base with the two wheels. You can change gear . Far more control. I actually have one going begging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 If you are on bout the singer 29k those little white motors are not powerful enough. Most of the patchers we do are motorised but have a special motor (low speed) and pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippy Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 couldnt get on with the leccy ones, often put resistance on to when u needed to do bits by hand. Better control with treadle or hand wheel specially if wanna use same holes. May be just me cos a fair few love em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerbas Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Treadle all the way. Yeh can't get the same feel with leccy, unless yeh lick fingers first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Beauty of Electric pedal is that the machine always goes the way you want it to...Starting stitching with a treadle used to be hit & miss wether it went backward or forward, unless you hand started it. Treadles look nice in an open shop but take up far too much room. Counter mounted Electric would be my choice on a revolving base with Roller Bearings. Long Arm like the Adler or Caes I would prefer on a stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
