Gosh I'm confused now! No, it's a hand machine. I have got two treadles though - wait and see - the pictures will be posted soon enough!

I've been looking at all the pictures people are posting of their machines. I can't believe how few hand machines there are in the States. It seems to be all treadles and electrics. Anything that plugs in is too modern for me. In fact I find round bobbins a bit new and strange. I'm a long bobbin girl through and through.
I went to a gathering here in Northern CA, Gold County Mini TOGA, and the host had so many hand machines. There are folks here that have them and use some of them.
