My first 'real' machine was/is a 401 in a table. Works like a treat and is my 'go to' machine.
Then, I wanted a treadle and found a 66 in good condition for a decent price.
Then, I found a featherweight.
Then, my 401 plastic walking foot broke after just a short usage. So I found a Davis in a barn.
How could I pass up the beautiful Willcox & Gibbs treadle?
Or the Wheeler & Wilson very early model?
And then my husband gave me two treadles for my birthday.
And found another at a garage sale.
And I found a couple of hand crank Singers....
So now, the question asked before buying is "Does it do something different than the others?
