I got my treadle recently and all it needed was cleaning and a belt. I made a quilt top on it and what a pleasure! (about the 1950s)
Now I am quilting it on another vintage machine, a little bigger, and electric, but wow, all that room in the throat makes for easy sewing. (About the 1950s too)
A question - one of the drawers in the treadle cabinet is locked and I can't get it open. Any suggestions?
