I think treadle machines are quite easy to learn, because they're so simple. It can take a bit to get the rhythm of treadling, but once you get used to it it's easy, and I find it quite relaxing. It would be a great machine for quilting! Check out the Vintage and Antique Machines subforum here for more info and help with that machine.

Once the surgery is over and we know exactly what we are dealing with, I will be deciding what project I want to start with. I thank everyone for your advice and prayers!
My prayers are definitely with you and your family. Cancer sucks
