I played with my Grandmas treadle machine as a child she had it electrified later and I now have it it is a Singer Red Eye, and My mom gave me a treadle she bought from my aunt. My husband bought me a sewing machine for our 1st Christmas from Aldens catalog I still have it packed away then I bought a Kenmore used with cams and thought I had everything!! Used it up until about 3 years ago and found a Kenmore in a cabinet at Salvation Army for $40.00 so bought that, a year and a half ago I bought myself a Brother SE 350 so I could embroider. I would like to put Grandma's machine back in a cabinet some day.
