I also have a Singer Treadle Machine (Circa 1919) that I will get tuned up this summer. It needs a new belt. I was considering getting it converted to electric but want the experience of treadle sewing before doing that. I have a Pfaff 2042 Quilt Style sewing machine. I live in Portage, MI (just south of Kalamazoo). I am a mom to 2 golden retrievers who are my sewing companions. I look forward to reading and learning from all of you. Your work and information is very inspiring!

Hi and welcome from the sunny state of Florida!! On your treadle machine, if you have a really good serviceperson convert it to electric it should also be able to treadle. My DM just had hers done that belonged to her DM and is what I learned on. I also have a treadle and want to have it electric also one of these days.
