It is going to need a lot of love but I think I can do it. but I have a back log of machines that need cleaning that are mine but as usual they will sit on the back burner until I get the customers out of the way!

Wow, you'll have one like mine. Hope yours has the knob to stop the needle from going up and down, mine is missing and I have been unable to find one.

Ok you guys, I finally got my Free treadle in the house. Had to put this one behind the sofa in the entry. I am sorry the cabinet photos didn't come out real clear.

I moved my 15-88 into my sewing room! Yippeeeeeee! I finally made the commitment to have a treadle in the sewing room -- they are all over the house -- except the sewing room!

Yes, they are mint on the back, just a little scuffed on the front! I love the foot pedal on the treadle! It says "The Free!" Pretty cool!

Thank you!
