Hi Pink Castle,
I'm from WI also, I live near Sparta. I'm loving my old treadles a bit to much and have rescued several.
And I enjoy using them. My granddaughter has FMQ on the old singer that is electric and really had fun with it. I have a longarm, so I haven't done the fmq on the treadle.
Enjoy your machine, and if you are close, I'd borrow some of my books, I have to many. PM me if you'd like.
