Hi, I am the Happy Treadler and there is no ten-step program for my sickness - thank goodness! ANYWAY, just wanted to join in on the Vintage Sewing Machine Club part of the quilting forum. I quilt entierly on treadles and hand cranks - no electric for me! Well, at least when it comes to sewing. ;) My husband thinks I'm nuts, but I've been 'collecting' old machines now for 10-12 years. I don't buy them for display, I buy them to use. Me and my hubby just built our new home, and I designed my sewing room and light fixtures around the 'feel' of my machines. Anyway, it's nice to see I'm not the only nuts person who loves these machines. ;)
