Every time I think about the Singer Treadle Machine my Mom put out for the garbage when I was a teen, I want to cry. It had a beautifully carved wooden cabinet also.
My Brother XR52 just broke down. I have a timing problem and won't get it back for a couple of weeks.
Meanwhile, I decided to borrow my daughter's machine which had belonged to my MIL. I didn't remember what it looked like and assumed it was an old Pfaff like his aunt had. I just found out from him that it is a SINGER FEATHERWEIGHT!!!!! I may end up trying to trade machines with her! She does very little sewing. Only a project once in a blue moon for the kids for school. All her mending etc. she gives to me because she doesn't have time she says.
Oh Boy! Am I ever excited now!
