    Hi! Do you have any suggestions where I can purchase (or obtain plans to build) a PORTABLE treadle cabinet to fit a modern Janobi treadle sewing machine? I travel to craft shows and would like to demonstrate how I make my projects but do not want to lug around cast iron! Thank you for any help you can give me.

      Nope, I’m sorry, but the two treadles I have are not portable in any way. I know there were some models made of wood, but it was still a big cabinet to deal with. My suggestion would be to look at hand crank machines instead. You might be able to modify your Janobi to work with a hand crank too!

    Hello, I’m trying to find the bed dimensions of a Singer 15-88 but am having no luck. I’ve found a nice table but don’t know if the hole is the right size and don’t want to purchase it until I’m sure, and I don’t have the machine here for measuring. Could you please help? Many thanks.

      I have a Singer 237 in my treadle base now and the rough dimension of the cut out is 13 1/2 x 6. If the table was a Singer cabinet, it should fit, but what I’ve found is it may need a bit of tweaking here and there as you switch machines.
