Hi, I'm new here but I have been reading this thread till my eyes are crossed lol.
My grandmother gave me her old treadle machine about 15 years ago and it has been sitting in my spare room for about that long. I decided I wanted to clean it up and see if it could still work. Now I'm getting obsessed with this thing!
It is really dirty but it works! I am gonna start really doing some heavy duty cleaning this weekend and I'm really excited.
