Any tips, or advice would be greatly appreciated, Thank you!
Anamaria, I just gave away two sets of treadle irons! I wish I had known you wanted some! Darn!
Judy, I am glad the machine is sitting in the house now! I bet with a little Liquid Gold on the cabinet and machine - it would shine up just fine!
Grant, I also have a 230 but I have never tried to sew leather with that machine. I use a Singer 31-20 for the really heavy stuff. Sorry I am not much help!
I would love to see a photo of the Tikka machine!
