White Treadle Zig Zag
This project has been fun and the results are pleasing. A poor beat-up WHITE Sit Straight treadle that had been rendered useless by puzzling re-design and user alterations is now alive and well and VERY USEFUL again. The treadle off-set design is very useful to all treadlers that grow weary from setting and working off balanced from looking slightly to the left. With this excellent treadle peddle design one sits straight and upright in front of the needle and sew/work where the needle is located.

For the first time in its long life time this now custom treadle works with many sewing machines. The price for this Custom treadle unit without a head is $275.00.

With the White Japanese head (MODERN) as herein pictured is $327.50.

For the ultimate in treadling it can be supplied with a Necchi BU for $475.00. Since it is custom it can now be fitted with many different heads. Just ask.

The cabinet is very well made and very functional as a treadle. You just can't get a better working treadle for all modern sewing machines.

This is the part that makes this design so useful. The treadle peddle located over to the left side was used on many industrial sewing machines where they were used for many hours every day. This centers operator in front of the needle.

This is the part that was so messed up in the original and now it is completely rebuilt. It now holds all machines using the Singer hinge pin spacing.

Like the Necchi BU this one has controls in the same location and work just the same as the Necchi BU. This is a good, less costly sewing machine to use. With the treadle the Modern is $152.00

Used this Singer vintage hold-down fitting to hold down on the head when down in cabinet. The machine is pinned onto the top so it cannot be dropped out. The machine head clings tight to the cabinet top when lowered.

See the relationship of the needle work area to the treadle peddles. They align in a straight line as they should. This is a very nice feature. You will love this feature if you treadle much.
