Default I'm getting a Singer treadle - UPDATE

http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...e-t218693.html

So disappointed - it is not a Singer treadle - it is a Singer 301. My mom kept saying a foot treadle - but what she meant was a foot pedal. It is in a very large, heavy cabinet - two toned brown/beige with a little flip up section like my Featherweight. Then she has a Kenmore that she wanted to keep in case she had something that she needed to sew (she is 90 yrs old). We went to my cousin's house to see what kind of machine my aunt had and went into her basement to search for a sewing machine cabinet (cousin cannot walk) - which we finally found - could not see very well in the darkened basement and it had so much junk on the top that we could not open up the top of the cabinet, but my DH managed to open one of the drawers underneath the cabinet and found a book that said White. I can have it also if I want it someday. Poor DH, had to haul the 301/cabinet up from my mom's basement and then take it outside to the car - in the rain - had to unload the trunk - we had just come back from the Paducah Quilt Show and the trunk was full. The cabinet did not fit in the trunk so he tried the back seat - no go - so had to take it back into the house and turn it upside down and get a screwdriver and take off the legs and then back out to the trunk. No book, so will have to try to find one. Now my mom says that her mom did not sew, so she doesn't remember where the machine came from.
