Not that it hasn't been said, but power was out for over two hours today. I could not sew and was going crazy. I need a working treadle. I need to get this one finished I have sitting here. Just need to get the frozen screws loosened.

just off to ick up my new (second hand) treadle machine. Yippee.

do you powder coat your sewing machines, my husband was amazed at the finish on your machines?

OK BILLY! GET BACK TO MY MACHINE!!

I was sewing last winter when the power went out, I didn't know it until DH came in and told me the power was out. lol
I was using my treadle, I dragged it over to the window for light and kept on going. rofl

I use these lights when I'm servicing machines and sometimes when I'm using the treadle machine. Soon I will be back to treadling, doctor hasn't said I can yet. I broke my right ankle 2 months ago.

No I use automotive paint and lots of clear!!

Powder coating would be a bear and a half if you forgot to plug the holes up to keep from messing the threads up. And Singer sewing machines all have proprietary thread pitch and there is not a set of tapes and dies out there to be had that I know of. If I can get a set I am all over them and would throw the bank at them.

I have just a little bit to finish up on a 99K I am refurbishing and tomorrow afternoon I am tearing into your machine and sand blasting your treadle. The treadle will be finished before the weekend and the machine will be done next week.

I am really looking forward to seeing how well the plating was preserved under all of the paint so those parts are being soaked in a paint stripper.

Either way I will be sending you photos of a treadle and machine in the nude in a day or two!!
