Yes, the Amish usually buy a treadle machine. It depends on the Bishop but some hook a mechanical machine to a battery (like a car battery) and sew.

We ate at Essenhaus, the Copper Top and Topeka Pizza. If we would have gone out for the 4th day we probably would have gone to the Blue Gate or 5 x 20. But our strength was tested. We each took a slice of pie home from Essenhaus. The girls help me unload the numerous bags of fabric onto the kitchen table. I went downstairs later and started opening the bags and accidentally came to the bag with the pie. Of course I sat down and ate it. German Chocolate pie.
