Hi, I just discovered these silent beauties. I am on the hunt for a Necchi BU. I saw several on youtube and wondering how some machines run so quiet and others not as much. Do people "treadle" their vintage machines because it makes them more quiet?
I must admit, the reason why I fell in love with the BU because of it "silent running". If this is the reason I would definitely do it also. Is there any websites, or classes that show how to do this?

I'm just about to start treadling one! Will be getting it on Sunday and found your post while I was researching it. I have an industrial machine so no probs with the feet, but it might have taken me a while to realise they were interchangeable if I hadn't read up on it!
So excited. It's in the most unusual looking table top with Necchi treadle irons that look very Art Deco. I'll post some pics as soon as I get it and let you know what I think

I have looked at several vintage BU's
My collection increased without any organization and my feet are all mixed up. So, I consequently know when someone says they prefer to stick to one type shank. Since, I've learned to keep feet with machines.
And, you are correct. It is a silent beauty and sews extremely well. However, I'm hooked on the SS vintage Singers (hard to explain).
