I'd love to have a vintage treadle for myself--to use! I do hope the machines used were no longer usable!

Now, I am trying to recondition an old cabinet that has not been cherished by someone so that I can use the 127 in it, or better yet, the 66 I got . I sure miss that relaxing feeling that treadling gave you as you sewed away.

Okay! So now we need to come up with some way to turn a tractor into a sewing machine! Leave it to a man!

Those are really cute.I hope they were made with ones that were beyond repair. I have a friend who is a farmer and loves all things old that would love one of these

I think they are adorable and they were probably well beyind using before they were used for this.

Craig's list give me the creeps. Wouldn't be surprised at anything.
