Yes. Me too. I'd rather do it the other way around - electric to treadle.

I emailed Jenny and she told me what to order. I've made my order. Thanks to all so much.

Did you order a hand crank? Do you have a base for the machine to sit in? Here is info to make a base: http://www.treadleon.net/woodshop/bu...dingbases.html The pictures no longer come up but maybe you can get some ideas. Here is another idea: http://mysewingmachineobsession.blog...hine-base.html

as what miriam mentioned, you do need to have a base for the machine if your going the hand crank way.

My husband is really good at working with wood. He is going to build me a table top base. I did not order the hand crank. I am not a very patient person, so I figured the electric way was the way to go for me. Thanks for the base building websites. I will have my hubby take a look at these.
