Love the quilts! I am interested in seeing a treadle in action! I remember sewing on one when I first went to 7th grade home economics class... I had a time then cuz I was sooooo short! Then they had gotten the electric machines with knee presser action.. that was better for me. But I so would love to have a treadle machine and use one now that I have "grown up" lol. I hope you figured out the stitching problem.
