Zigzag and Treadle in One

Singer 328K Style-o-Matic

Looking to "Go Green? or "Get off the grid?"  Treadle sewing machines are the ultimate in renewable energy.  Like a bicycle, you pedal it yourself. 

Singer treadle machines are a dime a dozen.  The problem is that nearly all of them are straight-stitch only.  So if you need treadle AND zigzag you don't have many options. 

The 328 Style-o-Matic is the answer.

Heavy duty power, zigzag and decorative stitch capability and
treadle ready.  Replace the motor belt with a treadle belt and install in a treadle cabinet... Voila!  The ultimate green sewing machine. 
 
The 328 was manufactured from 1963-1965 at Singer's Scotland
(328K) and Canada (328J) factories, which means they not difficult to find.  

The 328 is belt-driven which requires regular adjusting for optimum performance.  When properly adjusted it compares favorably to its gear-driven counterparts.  All of the 328's I've tested  sew lightweight leather, heavy denim, duck canvas, marine vinyl and upholstery with ease. 

If you need an all-around household machine with treadly capability, look no further than the 328 Style-o-Matic.  

The 328 uses Class 66 bobbin and low shank attachments.

Happy Sewing!
