I am covered from head to toe with sores and I can not even take a shower without crying in shear agony. I am eating Lortab 10's like they are candy 4 every 4 hours and can not do anything but lie down.
I just hope I can come out of this but I have accepted the fact that I might not and I am okay with it. I had 45 good years on this planet and had a lot of fun and made a lot of friends. But I am so tired of being in pain and suffering its not even funny.

OK, this looks a lot like the vintage Domestic I bought not long ago for my grandaughter. The shape is really similar.

I have a question though. My machine is on smooth floor and it moves around when I am peddling. What do you guys use to keep it in place or do I need to adjust how I am peddling?
I did learn you cannot use a chair on wheels. Both the chair and the machine were rolling all over.

My floors are carpeted, and the treadles sit on the rubber carpet protector pads. You can find the pads at Home Depot or Lowes.
Have you tried sitting the treadle onto those to see if you no longer a rolling?
Find yourself a vintage Singer chair!! Or find a piano bench.
Both are about the right height for the treadles, and they both can store attachments and other vintage sewing treasures. :)

Two in the laundry, one in the dining room, one machine plus another cabinet in the living room, one just at the top of the stairs trying to decide which room to go into from there, and all of these are in cabinets. Of course there is the small sewing room with the FW and Janome in it, plus the cutting table , ironing table, flannel board, TV, etc......oh I hear a noise....Yep, the machine is deciding the other bedroom is a better bet! LOL!

Thanks Kathie for saying this!! We do need to be bold in this world. The Lord didn't mean for us to be timid.

I signed up on the Treadle On group to do the fall TOBE to force myself to finish and use one of my treadle machines. So I am working on a BOM that is a UFO making log cabin blocks as practice first. Boy I am getting used to threading the needle as I often start to sew backwards and break the thread. I'm still fiddling with the tension a bit but not bad. It is like it is not releasing when you raise the pressure foot either.
I have a question though. My machine is on smooth floor and it moves around when I am peddling. What do you guys use to keep it in place or do I need to adjust how I am peddling?

Does anyone know where I can find some 3/8-inch embossed trim with a gold key pattern to match the missing pieces on my W&W No. 9?
BTW, I'm reading through all the posts (thousands and thousands) on this thread and copying all relevant W&W No. 9 posts to the "Wheeler & Wilson No. 9" thread in the Pictures section.
It would be great if other W&W No. 9 owners would add pictures to that thread, too. These machines were produced for fourteen or more years, with variations, and it would be fun to see lots of examples.

Many prayers going out to you Billy! Hope your doctors can figure this thing out quickly.
