I was lucky enough to find a Singer treadle machine for a very good price at a garage sale a few months ago.
I brought it home and gave it a thorough clean and oil and away it went.It sews like a dream. I have it in our sitting room and often sew on it in the evenings much to my husband delight.
He sanded and revarnished it for me as the old varnish had gone tacky with age, apart from that it is perfect. Even has the original belt.
The gent I got it from said he brought it new for his wife when they were married. She has recently passed away.
I am very pleased with my find as I had been looking for one for some time and was staggered at the prices some people were asking.
