Convert Sewing Machine from Electric to Non-Electric

Basic skills that you might need, if you cannot get to a store. How to fix a pair of socks (have you EVER done that before or did you just toss them out and buy a new pair?). Crochet & Knitting skills for blankets, footwear, household items. Lots of uses for an old skill that many don't have anymore.

Convert Machine from Electric to Non-Electric

Converting Singer Sewing Machines from Electric to Treadle or Hand Crank
http://www.treadleon.net/sewingmachineshop/converting/converting.html

Sewing machine collectors, and especially those with an interest in actually using the older machines, often find themselves in possession of machines that have been converted from treadle to electric, or they may have a nice treadle that has had it's machine removed. Possibly they have a treadle that's nice, but the machine in it is badly worn or damaged. Any of these situations can indicate the desirability of finding a better head and/or converting some Singer head back to treadle, or possibly to hand crank. These pages should enable you to carry out this conversion in most instances. --- CONTINUED at LINK, above---
