I happened on a real deal last night on Craigslist.A treadle machine in really good shape for $125. I couldn't believe it. We drove to Galveston in the middle of the night to bring my new(old) gal home. I felt like a thief. but she seems to be in xcellant shape for a girl her age. I am naming her Tante Meta after my great aunt who made quilts by hand all her life. I was fortunate enough to recieve the last quilt she made. I will post a pic when I get her situated.

Congratulations on your new machine. Can't wait for pictures.

Oh I cannot wait to see her! How exciting for you!! I just picked one up last month and she sews like a dream the only draw back my legs are killing me :) Might take me a lot longer to sew a quilt on her but I just love it!!!!

Oh I can't wait to see her! Love the name :)

Oh lucky you I had to leave a couple of them behind while back when I lost my house to swapping out trialers long story. I left them to the local neighborhood scrapper even told him what they were and how to sell em. Had 3 of them one was a white and 2 singers. I sure wish i had my old ladies back. am glad you found one in memory of your aunt Tante Meta

WOW!! What a great find :D:D:D

So happy for your "new gal", can't wait to see pics of her. :-D

Well done...I'm itching to restore my "old gal", but have a major kitchen reno happening...hope you have many happy hours with Tante Meta.

I am also now looking for one. The right one will come my way when it is meant to be... Can't wait!!

Lucky you...I also have a desire for one, but I have no idea where I would put it..lol. Maybe next year, after Christmas and the bank account settles down I'll find a spot..lol
