Funny thing, wishing... Last night I was told to come and pick up my sister's old treadle White. Looking at my Alvah my niece responded, "And it's a WAY better machine than this one!" Inside I laughed and thought, "Yeah, well... we will see how it stitches!!"
Then I went to work. This summer, I'm adopting a friend's grandmother's old Singer. I've been told it's a mess from sitting in a shed. From zero to three in less than 2 months.
