nice job

I have the same machine - you paid a great price.
You can check the year it was made by looking at the number on the machine. I have all my pieces to mine. I will look over your pieces and see what you have or do not have and get back to you. |

3 Attachment(s)
Here are the pieces that I have for my treadle and a picture of my treadle. The only part that I have replaced has been the belt, otherwise I have used my machine to sew. How fun!

Very Nice..what fun and a great price too !!!
|
You are one lucky gal! beautiful machine
|
A none-too shabby Red Eye, looks to be a back-mount 66. And, to top it off, a 6-drawer cabinet. I am green.
|
Really a great deal! I love the designs on the sewing machine!
|
That looks like one of the best finds I have seen.
|
What a great find. Love those cabinets.
|
I'll bet Billy or Miriame will know.
|
LUCKY GIRL!!
|
WOW awesome deal. I am wanting one soooo bad but have not found one I am willing to pay what they are asking in the conditions they are in. One day though I will find the perfect one for me.
|
I found a website that shows one of the attachments. If you go back to the home page it shows you lots of attachments and tells you how to use them. If you have a problem, PM me and I will find it and send the home page. Beautiful machine! Good going! http://pleasantviewschoolhouse.blogs...fler-foot.html

very nice, have fun using her.
|
What a fantastic deal. Who says you can't get anything good anymore for $10. Congrats on your lucky find.
|
Did you ladies know that when women used the treadle machines so long ago, that they did not have blood clots in their legs? I read that sometime ago. Something for all of us to think about, I guess.

Beautiful Red Eye. You got a bargain. Just a tip (in case you don't already know) be very careful cleaning her up, use something gentle, or decals could be damaged.
|
OMFG!!! You are so lucky you are across the board from me! enjoy your red eye! I got my Grammy's from Wittenberg Germany!
|
Your machine will be beautiful with some TLC. For N. Florida or lower Alabama board members, there is a beautiful Singer Red Eye on Craigslist in Callaway right by Panama City, Fl for $100 OBO.

WHAT A TOTAL FABULOUS SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
There is a really cool book explaining the attachments for the old machines. Great pictures and general information.
It's called the "Sewing Machine Attachment Handbook" by Charlene Phillips. Wonderful resource aid. I think I got mine from Connecting Threads on book sale but I am not real sure. |
You did great!
|
I knew when I saw the caption''Yard sale find'' It was going to be, and it is:
''HEART STOPPING"" You are a very lucky lady!! Have fun with your old, but new Machine!! :) |
What great deal.
|
Fantastic!
|
luv the redeye been wantingone of them. lucky u
|
The attachment upper right looks like a buttonholer. See the open space in front enclosed by metal? That looks like where you line up the where you want you button hole placed. But how you work it is a trial and error, I do not know.
|
What a Find!!!! Mine was a bit more pricey than that, but what the heck....I am happy with mine.
|
Great deal, and nicer than the one I turned down today for $130, with a bunch of stuff. Yeah, stuff, lol. I don't want stuff, I want a good machine. SHE wanted a display. Well la de da.
You are right about the prices some people are asking for the machines. They are dreaming, lol. |
That is quite a find!
|
Lucky for you!!
|
A little TLC and you have a beautiful machine!
|
Wow, it's a beauty.
|
The drawers alone in an antique market sell for about $10-15 a piece. Cabinet looks in good shape. I believe I could not have got my money out of my pocket fast enough.
|
Stunning! Beautiful find. Good for you!
|
Congrats, enjoy her. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
How nice!!!
