P.S. I forgot to mention the other sewing machine I have is my grandmother's old White that use to be a treadle and was converted to electric sometime soon after Franklin flew the kite in a storm. It's over 100 years old and in pristeen condition. My grandmother was a seamstress in a drygoods store in the early 1900s and this is the machine she used to earn her living. When she gave it to me 50 years ago she said it was old when she had it converted to electricity and it cost her alot to have it converted (I think she told me it cost $5.00 to convert it) but she never regretted doing it. The store where she worked had an electrical plug in but she didn't have it in their home until many years later so she was able to get another treadle machine for sewing work at home. The treadle machine cost her $ 1.50 used. Wish I had that machine, too. I have the converted machine set up in a corner as a part of my home decor in our family room. It has the rounded oak lid and the table part is also oak. I wish it still had the treadle gears but it doesn't. Darn!
