featherweights and treadle machines

[ollie1shoe]

i have a cabinet for a treadle machine but have not started looking for parts that are missing on the head of machine the cabinet is in great shape will a feather weight fit in this cabinet wonder if there is a kit that would make it fit because i think the feather weight may be smaller than there original head thats in it any suggestions

Glenda, a Featherweight will not fit in any treadle cabinet without some major adjustments to the cabinet. They are much smaller and have a bed that flips up for sewing. I have an EZI Sew table and they make an insert that will fit the Featherweights. I would find an old treadle and use the cabinet for show, even if I couldn't use the machine. Just a thought.
