You really have an eye! I never would have thought at the beginning that the thread/denim combination would be so beautiful. Thank you for your inspiration.
I am still planning on giving this a try on one of my old Singer machines. However, I must admit, I love watching you work, marveling at the ease with which you do such fine work and listening to you.
Your videos are wonderful. One dares not to fast forward to the end because they will miss your verbal instructions and hints. You are inspiring and creative. But I guess you have heard all of this before. Thank you for each and every one of your videos.
Hi Tim, I really enjoy your vidios. Your work is outstanding. You have inspired me to use my 3 treadle machines more. Could you tell me where you got your adapter to change the back screw to a side screw on the presser bar. Or if you have a certain website that you use for things related to treadle machines. Thank you for your time. Becky
I found it on eBay.......I have not seen one since then ...... I have another 66 and I changed out the presser bar on it so that it now takes side clamping, I think that works even better . I usually find all the parts of my machines on eBay
I usually use cotton thread, they sell thread labeled as "Machine quilting thread" which is good, really any thread will work, I prefer 40 weight thread, I also often use polyester embroidery thread which is thinner but works well for me.
I'm trying to learn to quilt on my Singer 127 treadle and I would like to ask you a question if you don't mind. What is the best way to get used to the feel and rhythm of using my hands when I am trying to free motion. Is there something that will help me to get more comfortable with this technique? Hopefully you can suggest a practice tip to help me with my stitching. Thanks so much
I think the best thing to do is a lot of practice. get some fabric that you really dont like and wont feel bad about messing up ( I think plain old muslin is a good choice, and make some quilt sandwiches, maybe fat quarter size, use whatever batting you like ( I think a dense batting is easiest , like a warm and natural for example) I think it is good to draw some simple designs on and try to follow the lines smoothly ........it really will help to get the hand coordination to follow lines. Just keep practicing simple shapes and designs and the more you do the easier it will get. I am planning to do a video soon with some demos on getting started but basically it will be just this.....in video form ......Happy Quilting!
I appreciate the help. I guess I am on the right track, this what I started doing last night. And you are absolutely correct, the more I have been following the lines, and circles, and drawn shapes .... I seem to be getting better LOL!! Looking forward to your next video Thanks, Greg
there are many available.......any foot that is a side clamping low shank foot will work......I like the daring type best....here is a link www.amazon.com/Singer-Embroidery-Darning-Foot-006016008-P/dp/B00083QRDS
I have a 66 back feet attachment . There is a gal in the UK that states she has a hopping foot for the 66-1 back clamp feet ? What do you think , she wants 70 for it
wow. that is a new one on me....I have looked and looked for any that might have been made and have never seen one. I would be interested to see it........70 seems pretty high, but on the other hand if such a foot exists it has to be pretty rare
Tim Latimer well I might purchase it tomorrow. Your work is great. When I receive it I will send a picture.. I wonder because she is in th U.K. The machine over there came with? Yes , she states it is very rare!
I have stumbled upon a master!! WOW, and on a treadle....hmmmmmm....I'm so ready to ditch power. I have two Singer 191J's on small treadles.....way too much hand and foot for this autistic guy, LOL...
WOW! SIMPLY GORGEOUS. You do great work!!

WOW! I just acquired a Singer 66 red eye treadle and I can't wait to see what I can do with it.

I cant find a hopping foot for a Singer Treadlle 66. Although my regular foot doesnt put much pressure. Mine is a back screw. Found the adaptor! 😁

👏👏👏💥💥💥
I can not believe how fast you can treadle, can you please show us your lower action???
Wow! Gorgeous quilting and wonderful demonstration!
Where are you Mr Tim ???????
We are missing you
Enjoying your videos very much.. Do you use just regular thread? Or are they heavy duty? Thank you so much!
I usually use cotton thread, they sell thread labeled as "Machine quilting thread" which is good, really any thread will work, I prefer 40 weight thread, I also often use polyester embroidery thread which is thinner but works well for me.
Do you ever sell your treadle machines or do you keep them? I'm looking for one like the one your working on now the 66 looks like a sweet machine.
so far I just keep collecting them ......maybe when I run out of space I'll sell a few to make room for more
So, do you cover the feed dogs?

I have a 1920 singer treadle. What type foot can I get to try free motion quilting?

I’m assuming you do not fiddle with the stitch length.
