I am going to sew the first quilt {lap size} on it and give it to my dad. Come Monday, all three of my vintage machines will be in use! I will be sewing on the Free treadle, my 10 yr old DGD will be working on her disappearing 9 patch with my Singer treadle, and my 3 yr old DGD will cranking away on my SERATA hand crank machine. It will be a good day!
That is so cool! Having both DGD's sewing with you is priceless! I have had sooooo much fun with my GS's and GD's all sewing at the same time! Congratulations on getting those treadles all going and actually using them!
