Susan, do you suppose that might make her willing to learn to quilt? Neither of my DILs sew, but #1 did a little sewing before she married into this wacky family. #2 DIL doesn't have time to sew. She's too busy reminding DS to take care of himself - he's a brittle Type I diabetic who has seizures at the drop of a hat. The machine was her great grandmother's. What I really wanted was her treadle, but couldn't find any info about it 10 years ago. I wanted to buy it from her GF. I can't remember the brand, but not a familiar one and the internet just wasn't what it is today. It was Beatuy something or something Beauty. The top opened to the side & had a chain attached that pulled the machine out & up. Was all in tact. GF died right after we moved to New Mexico & DS forgot that I had been interested in the treadle. I guess it wasn't meant to be.
