    I'm parting out an old Elgin treadle. Still need to soak parts in Evaporust; am saving the irons for a table (did I really say that???).

    I hate to do it too, but if too many parts are missing or damaged you have to some times. I have one machine that kept 11 others alive. Small sacrifice. She still has some good parts. Some machines are no joy to use either. Then again I revived my Singer 401g and I never dreamed it would work let alone treadle. I learned a LOT just trying to get it going. No pain no gain.

    I had the same situation. My 301a came with NO attachments whatsoever. So far I have bought 3 other feet for her, and have only tried out 2. I haven't tried the ruffler yet, but want to. Maybe this weekend. So hard when I have to work for a living...it really cuts into my sewing time!! LOL

    Especially check April1930s online shop. She has lots of stuff for Featherweights and 301s. Good prices and good service.

    also check out www.sewclassic.com she has good stuff and she is quick - lots of good info on old sewing machines too - I like the bobbins for the 401s - better than I got at the store
