I should be able to do some sewing on her tomorrow.
Thanks again for all your information and good thoughts.
Many of us use the magnets that come as promotional items through the mail, etc. They work great as seam guides and don't mar the finish.
I am so used to electronic plastic machines, that I never even thought of using a magnet on my treadle to guide me at a 1/4 inch seam. This tip will help as my DGDs sew on it. They have a little trouble letting the edge of the foot be their guide.
