Can't mess that up; treadles and vintage machines are rugged. It may take you a bit of time to get use to using a treadle, but not that long. If you do give it a try just remember to oil the machine first. Some old machines just purr as they sew through layers of fabric with ease. Out of curiosity, what type of machine is it?
