Looking back, I think they were wrong in not teaching me to use them. It would have been a bond between the years. My mother did give me her machine, the 1950 Singer 15-91 that I did learn to sew on, but what a treat it would have been to that memory.

You are so fortunate to have the machine and the memories. I love using my treadle, I don't open it that often but enjoy it when I do.
