Monica, are you saying you are going to move your Free # 5 treadle in and out of the house? I too perfer a treadle to a handcrank, but I'd be afraid if I put one of my treadles outside I'd forget to bring it in and the dew would ruin it.

I don't plan to leave it outside. Just on warm, sunny days, I thought it would be fun to treadle outdoors under the patio umbrella. The machine would be brought in at the end of the day. I would hate to ruin the machine by leaving it out over night.
