You make it look so easy. Can I ask what it is below the fabric? Is that just vinyl? I was thinking of setting my treadle up for FMME and it is not something I have ever done before so I wonder about the set up of the machine to even start. Thanks for sharing this video.

I wanted to protect my sewing bed & hoop kept getting caught up on hinges, so came up with this hack… It’s a silicone baking mat, with BBQ Matt’s held in place with paper magnets laid on top of sewing bed - hole for bobbin thread & voila! 😊. You can buy silicone sewing mats, but this is a much cheaper $12 hack instead 🤣…

have you dropped the feed dogs?

[@HawkTnz]

Yes, on this model I can drop the feed dogs, on my much older machines I cover or remove them 👍
