My engineer son happened to read the board one day. He said it was no wonder we women outlived the men. We were using our brain constantly and always ready to learn new techniques. We're also great multi-taskers.......sewing, drinking coffee, watching TV, listening to music and petting the animals.

I learned to sew with needle only into paper, then with lines, then with thread and one piece of fabric then two pieces of fabric. Take your time and you can do it.

You might try contacting the company and see if they can send you an instruction book. I lost mine in a move and they charged me $5 to send the instuction book.

I learned to sew on a treadle machine and I recall turning the wheel with my right hand, to get it started. I love the rhythm of the machine when it gets started. Nice thing is is the power goes out, you can still sew!!! Jan

I put my right foot up on the foot plate(pedal) where my toes are almost at the edge.Then my left foot goes to the bottom where my heel is slightly off the foot plate. Then I push down with the toes of my right foot then down with the toes of my left foot and just keep going.Some people put both feet in the middle and us their toes and then the heels.I can't seem to get s good rythm that way.Whatever works for you.Maybe try both ways.Check the internet for treadle quilting lessons and see what you can find. Good Luck and happy treadling. Mary
