I've been quilting on the new White Rotary machine. It is a stiff learning curve. I am having that humbling feeling of being a beginner- AGAIN. I am doing pretty well on free motion quilting on the electric machines. Not great or show worthy. but very respectable and getting better all the time. On the treadle, it is a whole different rythym. Definetly slower, but I think that if I want to do really nice quilting this is going to be the way I do it. It sews at the same speed I think- where as the electric sews much faster!

What a score on that White machine! Hurray for you! There's no doubt but that it has a wonderful new home. Your comment about it quilting at the same speed that you think makes me think I might also be more comfortable machine quilting with a treadle machine. ;- ) It's the speed of the electric machines that scares me as much as anything else.
Hope you can find a spot for that new treadle base you found. Or perhaps the person who owns the machine it needs!
