Oooo, I'm so jealous. I have always wanted a treadle because that's what I learned on.
|
What a beauty! Have fun with her!
|
That is beautiful I love the old machines with the pretty decals...so much character compared to these generic plastic machines.
|
super pretty! Treadleing takes some getting used to, but it's so much fun!
|
I tried to sell it locally, thought a lady that had just opened a quilt shop might like to have it as a decorative piece but said she had no space for it so it sits in a room gathering dust. They really are a beautiful piece of work, they don't make em like that anymore.

He is definitely a "keeper"!!

It's gorgeous. Congratulations!
|
Ahhh she is a lovely red eye. Enjoy!
|
Beautiful decals. Great find.
|
It's so beautiful! I saw a very old machine at Goodwill last night but I'm determined not to start another collection! If anyone is in Seattle and you're interested, it's at the Goodwill on Dearborn.

Very nice, my hubs has been surfing ebay and keeping watch for me, at first I didn't know he was doing it but he finally told me. I took my machine in for its yearly checkup and it took longer than they told me because they were busy. It drove me nuts and he started looking then.

She is beautiful. I agree. I hope I look that good at 90. I just
hope I make it to 90 or maybe not, depends on health. |
Both are definitely keepers!!!

That's a work of art!

Wow. I wish I could find one. My grandmother left me the machine and after years of using it and then buying a new Singer I gave it to my sister to re-do. She re-did it alright...threw away the machine and kept the cabinet! I was heart broken when I got it back. I re-did the cabinet, cleaned it up and its just waiting for another machine to go in it! :) I LOVED that machine! You are lucky to have found such a pretty one!

who'd a thunk, well, I will see about getting some pics posted, if I can figure out how to do it. It would be awfully expensive to ship, but I guess it's worth a shot. I think some of the belts are worn and probably would have to be replaced, guess that is expected on a machine that is vintage, assuming you can still get parts for them. Thanks for the reply.

Gorgeous! I love old machines! I hope I look that good when I'm 60!
|
I think you have a very good deal even if some parts have been added. I agree the decals are great. Its just lovely and hope you sew many miles on it.

She is a beauty.
