Here are some pictures of my mother-in-law's old treadle sewing machine! My sister-in-law gave it to me today and I'm so excited! It has all the attachments and looks like it's in excellent condition.

Excellent!!

Lovely machine. And have you noticed how many of the older machines still have all the attachments that came with them when first bought? I think that it was because of scarce money, folks were taught to be frugal at that time in history, so they took exquisite care of what they had.

WOW! She's a beauty.

Stunning...very decorative and in absolutely superb condition...just a little tiny polish and she will glow!

Oh what a beautiful looking machine. I hope you get much use and pleasure from her.

She looks in great condition! The old treadles don't have much that can go wrong with them. I am sure you'll have her up and running in no time. I use mine when I have to sew through heavy fabrics (over denim seams,canvas,upholstery fabric etc.)

She is a beauty!

The cabinet looks very art deco in design.

Thanks, everyone. It's so nice to keep treasures such as these in the family. I have my mom's handcrank Singer and hubby made a special shelf in my sewing room for it to be on display.

Beautiful machine and cabinet. I'm so glad you got it. Enjoy. Beautiful hand crank too.

She if beautiful! Thanks for sharing her with all of us. I can foresee lots of beautiful quilts being sewn on her. Enjoy!

Oh happy day!! I recently came close to a treadle machine (a Singer Red Eye). I've got the fever. Enjoy it!
