I have a Bernina 200 embroidery machine that I bought when I was still working full-time. Last week, my son bought a treadle machine for me as a Christmas gift. (Actully, he does not know it yet raflol!) It has been in a fire and the case is damaged. My grandson is going to refinish the top, want him to remove the damaged veneer (sp?) and sand, stain and polyurethane the top. I am cleaning the machine and hope that it works. The best part of this? Just the machine and purchase of the leather drive belt -- less than $35.00. I cannot wait to try this out! It has La Reine on the machine, and on the treadle it has IMPROVED. This must be so because my disposition has taken a turn for the better!
