Y'all seem like a nice bunch of folks.

Hi Kathi,
I'm pretty new here too; I do hand quilting but have been away from it for a long time. I have an old treadle Singer from my grandmother; I'm hoping to find someone in my area who still can work on it and make sure it works. I've not tried to take it out of the Singer stand it is in, but I remember watching my grandmother do it 100 times and I don't think it's that hard. Well, we'll see! I think it would be perfect for me as a novice sewer, since I don't like complexities that these new machines show. Like this old thing is really easy to thread, etc. Anyway, nice to meet you.
