I don't have the confidence to completely dismantle her as I saw in Billy's tute yet, but perhaps I can work up to it. LOL Anyway, all advice is graciously accepted. Thanks for all that's been shared.

If you haven't already heard of the Donna Kohler, the 'Treadle Lady', I highly recommend her little booklet. It's 40 pages but only $8.00 and it is packed full of useful instructions on cleaning up and using your treadles. Here is a video link to the booklet:

If you have time it's also fun to watch her other You Tube video,
