I LOVE your old treadle. I'm hoping one day to find one in good shape to purchase!! My sister has my Grandmother's treadle machine, and I'm so jealous....I don't think she's ever used it....

Here is a picture in order as I do them, I used Bonnie Hunter's instructions at Quiltville.com Thank you all for the very nice comments on "Lucy" !! I told and she's just a purrin right along!!

I love, love, love your machine!!! Not the cabinet I want...but that's the last machine I want...Singer 66 Redeye. I did find a cabinet last week but the wrong machine. So far I haven't found any treadles around here that are worth what they want for them..and now days the sellers on ebay won't ship anymore. The crochet piece under the bobbins is really cute and lacey looking. Just goes really good with that machine!! Wish now I Would have learned to crochet better than I did!! LOL Maybe I can get my friend Debi to make me a couple for my treadles. She was a great crocheter...till I converted her to quilting!!

My daughter just bought me an old Brother treadle machine, surprised me with it yesterday, she just needs a bobbin case, should be easy to locate and Friday I came across a "white" sewing machine that just needs a real good cleaning I got her for $40 at an Estate sale on 1/2 price day plus an extra $10 off. Can't wait to play!
