I just got my first antique machine a few weeks ago. It is a Singer treadle. I have been wanting one for ages. A friend who works for an auctioneer found it for me. The machine seems to work, the wheel turns freely. I need a belt. I have started to work on cleaning up the cabinet. Last weed my 3 year ole GS was here. All of the sudden he was way too quiet. We all know what that means. I figured he was up to no good. He had pulled a chair up to the machine and was turning the wheel making driving noises. I wish I had taken a picture. It was so cute.
