Get to work on her, girl!! You'll LOVE it! I have a 66-1 from 1909, and she is fun as heck!! Learning to treadle is a snap, and it feels great...very soothing rhythm, and you can hear the TV or conversation while you are sewing. The treadle machines are not hard to clean and get going. No excuses, now!! :-) Welcome to our world!! :-)
