My mother's treadle that she got when she and my dad married in 1945 is still in working order. We thought it was a goner, until one night in JoAnns I met a lady that teaches at the local Singer store in north Austin. We got to talking about everything sewing related and come to find out the owner of the store works on treadles and his brother restores the cabinets. Now my mother's had been just sitting for years and years, needed a new belt for sure, so my brother and I loaded it up on his truck bed and took it in. Cabinet doesn't need restoring for it was always inside the house. Anyway I put new ticking on this pillow as the very first project after bringing her home. Now I am piecing a quilt on it. I don't see the place to attach a picture or I would add it to this reply.
