Make sure to test everything out!

Looks pretty to me!

I just purchased an 1889 Singer treadle. The table and coffin top looks like this one. It sews like a dream. I bought it for $125 and would've paid more. I absolutely love it. I'm currently piecing my Farmer's Wife quilt with it. Very fitting- I think!

Looks good. Take fabric for a test run. You need to realize that this model takes the long thing bobbin shuttle. Make sure the shuttle is there - they are really expensive to replace. And the bobbins are not really easy to find either.

Thank you so much everyone.

I actually said Oh Wow outloud!!!!!!!Go now!!! Do not wait till tomorrow!!!!!!!!! LOL LOL I want a treadle so bad I can taste it. Just can/t afford it. GO!!! GO!!!!!

Very pretty machine,yes it does take a long bobbin but I have seen several on ebay that are very reasonable.

She's a beauty and looks a lot like my Cleo, although this one is much nicer. Cleo dates to 1905. I know the person that gifted me Cleo paid much more than what is being asked for this one. She is sure purty!!!

I took a day trip to see the machine, and it is in ok condition, not spectacular, has no attachments, no manual, and no bobbin.
The listing said "works good" but I think they meant you can rock the treadle and turn the flywheel ok. Without a bobbin it certainly cannot sew. So I left it with them. I'll keep looking. . |

Don't know where you are in Texas, but I have seen several on Craigs List for DFW area - I saw a gorgeous one in Flower Mound last week with the coffin top. Hope you find that special treadle at that special price soon! |
