I'm 54 yo now but remember fond memories of learning to sew on my great grandmothers old tredle machine. It purred like a kitten.

Congrats on your new treadle sewing machine.
If your sewing machine is a Singer brand, you can download a certificate and find out a little history on the year your sewing machine was born. You will need to provide them with the Serial number, it is worth checking out. Website:mysingerstory.com Fellow Treadle sewing machine owner, Rose |
wonderful ! hope you enjoy the old piece plus the bonus how strong they are ! can go through so tough thick fabrics and tarp material !

Go to the singer website, type in your number and a whole list will come up. You will be able to find out where and when your machine was made. Congratulations!
|
You should join the vintage singer yahoo group. They have a wealth of information.

Hubby is a keeper! Have fun with your new baby!

My grandmother had a treadle and she would let me "sew" on it when I was a kid. Maybe the fact that I was a gangly, uncoordinated kid has something to do w the fact I could only make it sew in reverse. My feet just didn't have the rythm - wonder how I'd do today. Bet I know, I still have the same feet. :/

Have fun with Her. We bought one at an estate sale last month DH said it was a late birthday present.So far we've sanded the wood and stained her then used Tung oil on her ( what a shine with just one coat)We are doing the work ourselves as we are on a very tight budget. She is a beauty.
