    Honestly this was the best purchase I have ever made and I did not feel guilty. I love my treadle the tradition and the fact my great great grandmother owned the same one. I say go for it. You will enjoy the treadle it is so much fun and the belts are not that expensive. Congrats! I would offer what you feel it is worth.

    Heck, this is an impulse purchase for me and I don't even know how to use it.

    I figured that if it was in working condition and a good price, than maybe I could learn to use it and quilt at the same time. ;)

    Well, that treadle sold before I got there. I did however get this one....

    Her name is Elvirna. She needs some love, but I am so excited.
