Necchi BU Nova in Modified Kenmore (White) SitStrate Treadle Cabinet |
| I'm a huge fan of Necchi sewing machines, and this BU Nova started that love affair. It sewed so smoothly and strongly that I just had to try it in a treadle cabinet. This cabinet was made for Kenmore by White, and is their "SitStrate" style. Note the treadle is off-center in the base, but centered under the needle, for more comfortable treadling. "Ergonomic" design way back then! |
 |
| We bought this cabinet from some folks who thought it could be a funky bathroom sink... they didn't quite pull it off. So we pulled off their mess, and built a new top for it. |
 |
| Ever the decorator... the red treadle belt is a nice touch, eh? |
 |
| And a view from the other side. As you can see, I left the motor on the machine, as well as the power cord, so this machine can be switched to an electric-powered machine simply by replacing the treadle belt with a motor belt. |
 |
| This machine is going back into its original electric cabinet... time for the treadle cabinet to find a new home. If you're
interested in purchasing this treadle, please Email McKenna. |
