You do know, these are NOT all my machines :shock: 8)
I have 'new' ones - a Brother 2003D and a Singer XL1000 - both embroidery machines, along with a White 'quilter's special' .... I wind up using the 'old' machines....
The 1920 'RedEye' treadle - a 66 class machine - we paid a lot for this machine BUT it's in FANTASTIC condition - sit down and sew - the first one I've seen in sewing condition since I was in HIGH school... yes girls, we did have home ec, we did learn to sew and we DID learn on treadle machines!
My featherweight - I really like the 301s better, but I didn't know that until I had both...
And a toy machine that still had all it's goodies! Unbelievable!

Oh, Janeen--I love them all, but the child's machine is definitely my favorite!!! How cute is that??!!
PS-I took home ec in Jr High, but we had electric machines. I thought I was old--but girl, if you were sewing on a treadle in high school, you are really old!!! LOL!! :lol:

Those are really nice, don't you just love the detail in them? I do. I really should go and take a picture of mine. hahahaha I know mine is electric though, so not as nice as all of you ladies and gentlemen that have old singers.
