Go easy and and keep at her.
You have a great friend, too. Saw two of those babies today - $65 on one and $110 on the other.
Have fun!

MUV sent her videos in Aug when I got my handcrank and my first treadle! LOVE her tutes!
I want to clean this little lady, but I have a very FULL week this week, so chomping at the bit and waiting for that special time...though my DH is also antsy and wants to take her out of her box so he can go and clean that part!
She only needs a wee bit though...she is sooooo well taken care of!
Wait til you hear the story of my friends Grandmother's treadle!
