Here's the link:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-43881-1.htm I bought a treadle last year, I fully intend quilting on it after I restore it (this year's resolution). I love vintage, and use my 1950's Pinnock every day. |
I love my treadle and would not trade it for anything! I love the rhythm and the quietness of it so peaceful. I love to think about what my great great grandmother would have stitched or quilted.

I have four machines in treadles that I use to make quilts. Two machines are mainly use for piecing; they have been used for straight stitch quilting. Another machine is for binding work and another for FM quilting. Each has their special forte. I could use just one machine to make a quilt, and I have done that.
Clean that lady up and start using her. Start out by piecing your top, then straight stitch quilt on a diagonal. You can mark off with masking tape the distance for lines. These machines love to work and are easy to work with. Have fun! |
Funny, I don't remember that my Grandmother Wilson ever used a sewing machine. She was always rocking and crocheting, or canning, or cooking for a bunch of folks. She assigned a corner of her garden to me for raising vegetables, and there was a plum tree by the fence that I'd climb up in and eat plums in season. Memories......of bygone times.
