You say that the machine was covered? Was it quilted cover or embroidered? I've seen some images from a vintage Herrschners catalog that had embroidered "sewing machine covers" that look like they may have been for White treadle sewing machines. I saw a kit in a thrift store, while I was unemployed, and didn't get it.
Sure don't envy any move, let alone out of state. We will be looking forward to pictures of your machine and I would be interested in a picture of the cover.

thanks. It is just a piece of fabric that covers the top and the sides are gathered to the top piece and it goes to the floor. Purple-ish. Nothing special except she made it. My aunt sewed but didn't quilt.
