I added a couple pictures I found - maybe someone here who's made something already can explain it better.
I found a tutorial that goes with the second picture:

Don't laugh! You are rubbing off on me! LOL I am even thinking about how to do some rearranging in my sewing room so I could have room for one. You can tell me what you think Friday, "oh great queen of fitting lots of machines in your room". :mrgreen:
I'm not the queen, but I bet ya can fit one more treadle in your sewing room.
My command center, as my husband calls it, is about 2 1/2 yds by about 1 3/4 yds and has 5 treadles, four of which have machines sitting up ready to use and the other treadle has my cutting matt and other items sitting on top. Chair sits in center. Bit of a mess right now since I have multiple projects going on.
LOL...you know you are a quilter when...you measure distance like you measure fabric
I like your command center...now i am thinking about how I could rearrange my sewing room to fit another one in.

WOOOHOOO!
Now...to find a bobbin case!

try Jenny at sew classic for the bobbin case
My mom still has her FW it is one of the badly abused FWs Her's has a limp door (where you lift it to go in the box) and the bobbin winder is missing. I'm thinking there were other things wrong with it. She bought a brand new Singer a couple months ago. Claims she loves it. She doesn't sew though. She is 85 and has some vision problems. Guess which one we daughters will fight over one day.
