Yes, stonewoman (shouldn't your name be horsewoman?) Raleigh is only about 1 1/2 hours away from me going east. The southern states can be beautiful but it is only June and I am already tired of the heat. Can you tell that I am originally from a bit further north?
Good that you found bobbins included. Funny info. about the wheels. I never knew that they built some of these machines with only sideways going wheels so they wouldn't walk away from the treadler. Good idea!
So how does one put a spool of thread on the u shaped piece? I have to assume that the u lifts off somehow?
