Muv, beautiful Wilcox and Gibbs! I have two of those babies, but neither one is a hand crank! One of mine is a treadle, the other electric!

Hello Nancy,

Nice to hear you have a couple of little Willcox & Gibbs machines. Have you got one of those hilarious treadles with the giant footprints? Also I've seen a picture of one with a motor, which I would be too terrified to touch. Have you ever got them stitching? Mine has the needle fitted, a very short little thing which I expect is impossible to replace, so I'm not sure if it's even worth trying to get it working. It's very stiff, but nothing a clean up and oiling wouldn't cure.
