Patdesign, is that a Pug with your featherweight? Sure is a cute picture!
Does anyone know about the Free Sewing Machine Co from Rockford, Illinois? I have a friend who has a friend whose parents just passed away and she wants to find a home for her Mother's 'Free" treadle. I guess their are 3 machines, one treadle. I don't know what the others are yet. I tried doing some research on line - not much information.
Does a "Free" take a special needle? Anyone? This is suppose to be a Free #5 , SS C83642, which I found out is a vibrating shuttle in an "oak or fummed oak" cabinet.
