My grandmother had a beautiful treadle and then a black Singer e machine in the same spot in her dining room. I have no idea where they are now, but I did sew on both of them. Grandma did her quilts totally by hand. One year as we left from our annual visit, we bought her fabric for two dresses. Came back a year later and the fabric was still in the drawer though she had completed several quilts. I offered to make the dresses. I was probably twelve at the time, but she let me. I honestly preferred the e machine to the treadle. I have recently purchased a treadle and a 1952 e machine, but they are nothing like hers.
