I learned to sew on my mother's White treadle sewing machine in the early 50s. She later purchased a Montgomery Ward electric machine, which was recently given to me by my sister, who has had it since our mother passed away. I still sew on my Singer 401A which I purchased in 1961. It is still going strong.

Those brilliant Singer Treadle machines have a lot to answer for. LOL. Me too back in the fifties./

My grandmother's 1920 Wertheim sewing machine with a shuttle bobbin. After Nan passed away Pop gave it to me.

A singer treadle in the early 60's.

I used an Alden. I know, huge brand name recognition there folks. My hubby bought it for our first Christmas together after our Dec. 19 marriage. It was old by Fingerhut I believe and the only one that had time payments at the time. We were as poor a church mice back then in 1963 and it's coming full circle I'm afraid.

I learned to sew on my mother's White sewing machine. Stupid me, not thinking, I gave the machine to a charity organization when I moved.
