Beautiful Tiffany decals. She is a beauty!
I learned to treadle with the machine unthreaded top and bobbin, with a piece of fabric under the foot so I could see that the machine was going in the right direction. Keeping your feet on the pedal seems to help too.
I do quite a bit of quilt piecing with my treadles.

Wow, that is gorgeous!!! Nice find! Just practice and you will soon be treadling along without even thinking about it.

That machine is absolutely gorgeous! Love the designs on the base and the throat. Lovely! I learned to sew on a treadle machine. Loved the rhythm of it. Never ran over my fingers either like I did with an electric machine. :shock: Jan

Do all of you who have these machines actually use them and how or why? Or are they strictly for decoration?
