what is that knob right above the bobbin winder...does something have to be dis-ingaged before it will work like on a modern machine. you are so lucky, I would love to have a treadle, don't know where I would put it.LOL

What a beauty! It reminds me of my grandmother's machine. Enjoy the process of getting it back in shape to use!

Ahh, I thought the same thing but found a manual on line for this model. It is the stitch length adjustment knob.

Me too! Wouldn't that make a drop dead gorgeous quilting design? I plan on redrafting it bigger and quilt it onto a quilt.

Here is a singer website where you can order the manuals. I did so for my machine from 1912.

Lostn51 restores old machines. PM him and I bet he'd have some good advice and links to resources where you could find what you need.

Awesome pictures of your old treadle!

Have you got it up and running yet?
