Well, got her a good initial cleaning. Love the fact that ya can tear so much of it apart and really get in there. Still needs more thoroughly cleaned but, had to give a once over so I could play with her, ya know. ;-)
We all decided on a name for her too, Black Betty. I love that song and somehow, it seems to fit. LoL! I got her all put back together and since it doesn't have the treadle belt, handcranked a few seams to see how she does. Tension all outta whack from cleaning so had to adjust, and adjust some more. But, the results are fabulous!! Now to find some leather laces to make a belt and some new needles, then I am off and running with her. Even got the initiation project ready to go. Having too much fun! :-)
