Happy Quilting Hours for you and your machine: I wish I had my Aunt's machine that was like this: She made all her own dresses:::

Have fun fixing your machine and then sewing some special quilts.

Beautiful machine, enjoy it.

What a beautiful keepsake from your family to your family.

I have one not as pretty as yours that was my grandmothers- I learned to sew on it, it still works and I love it!

When I was a pre-teen/teen, my grandmother, bless her heart, tried her best to teach me how to use the treadle. I just could not do it. She could make it hum and sew as smoothly as any electric machine, but it seemed like I just sat in one place and was "spinning my wheels". Not sure if I want to go through that again. (LOL)

Y'all have said such kind things -- and I am very blessed!

It would be a shame not to try. See if you can find a friend with a treadle to try one out. Also find Treadle Lady's website and her videos on Youtube - she's easy to find on google, and she's pretty inspiring. And then if you try and really don't get on with treadling, you can always stick the motor back on.

Congratulations! Sorry to hear about your father though. :cry: :cry:

sorry your folks passed, but look at the treasure you have to remember them by. cabinet and machine lovely.
