Please, Moonpi. As stated.....if this topic upsets you please refrain from reading it. Obviously it is important to a lot of us that have responded to this thread.
This thread is not so much about regrets as about where our Treadle machines, in our opinion which are heirlooms, end up because of thoughtless relatives.
It is about treadle sewing machines. We discuss sewing machines in the Main section. Yes, personal anecdotes emerge within the discussion but that is no reason to bury it in the PDA section.
We certainly don't need a separate section for discussing Treadle or any other kind of machine. We boast about how much we love our sewing machines and how many we have all the time in the Main section. This thread is no different from those.
Again, thanks Bevanger for bringing this topic up.
(Steps down from soapbox.)
I have to agree.. this is a topic about treadle machines... which to me deals with the "Main" topic section.
I just want to mention, don't be surprised Bev if this post you sent gets locked by the moderators. I had a little hiccup myself the other day when I posted of my cat's passing and it was considered put in the wrong spot. When I went to apologize that post was also locked as it became a place for people to get upset again about how some subjects are being put into the wrong places and people getting upset... Just a little heads up.
Sorry about your treadle machine that you would have so wanted. My grandmother never had one, or at least not when I knew her. I know she sewed, but never saw a machine. If I did, then Yes I too would have wanted claim on that heirloom.
Hugs and Cheers
