Singer 319W Treadle Conversion in No. 21 Oak Drawing-room Cabinet

In this video I show you my Singer 319W machine that I converted from motorized to treadle in a No. 21 drawing-room cabinet that has the machine lift-system. This is the plain Mission style 21 cabinet in tiger oak. The 319W machines were made around 1955-57.
I am using around 37 different treadle or hand-crank machines in my collection for Kathryn Kerr's "365 Challenge" sampler quilt project. I am sewing 10-11 different blocks on each of my different machines and sharing the machines used as I go through this project throughout the year.

Here's my 1917's DAVIS NVF VERTICAL FEED that I'll be using for the next 11 blocks of Kathryn Kerr's "365 Sampler Challenge". This is by far my favorite machine for quilt binding, or any multi-layer sewing, since it has a needle-feed walking foot!! No shifting of layers no bottom feed-dogs!! The needle and upper feed-arm move the fabric, so layers can not possibly shift. Also, can back tack and...

I've had this machine stored away for 10 years and NEVER SEWED WITH IT!! I bought it in its original oak parlor-cabinet, like the one shown in the Ward's catalog image, to put a Two-Spool machine into it, so this Damascus pulled out of the cabinet and never u...

Here's my 1918 FRANKLIN SIT-RIGHT TREADLE that I'll be using for the next 11 blocks of the "365 Sampler Challenge" by Kathryn Kerr. This machine was made by the Domestic Sewing Machine Co. for Sears Roebuck. Sears sold them through their catalogs and shipped them to the buyers. It is basically a clone of the Singer 27 and, from what I've read, can use the same bobbins and shuttle as the 27. Sew...

This is my Wheeler & Wilson 12W102 Long-Arm Tailoring & Leather Industrial Sewing Machine. Probably made around 1904-1905 just before Singer took over the W&W company and began putting the Singer brand name of many of the W&W machines, which they continued to make at the old W&W factory. This machine measures 11 inches across the harp opening from needle to pillar. The bobbin is said to hold 10...

Using my 1906 Singer 31-20 Tailor's Industrial treadle machine here because I have more harp space. I was lamenting on a treadle forum that I wish I could treadle quilt using the frame and a fellow treadler posted an old historical photo (Kentucky Historical Society pho...
