    Price...$1499.
    OUCH!!!! That's pretty steep!

    Teacup,
    I like my Singer 201k treadle best for piecing and straight line quilting. The 15-90 treadle is much better for FMQ; it has about 7" of throat space and much more height to the throat space than a modern machine.

    It is a great site! Have bought several items myself. Can't wait to hear how you like your new sewing machine - you'll have to let us know! I am thinking that some day I might still get one of those. :-)
