Thanks again everyone for the compliments, you're inspiring me to start on the old scuzzy one =) (what's a few brain cells right?)
My house is small so what comes into it must have a purpose. It would eat at me having these beautiful machines just collecting more crud and me thinking..."one day". My "one day" needs to be now, otherwise it's just another name for "hoarder"..... |
What a difference. She is beautiful.

You did a great job. :thumbup:
|
What a great job!
|
What nice results, well worth the effort..and then how well these vintage machines sew when they've been cleaned and oiled, also.
|
Amazing and it's Beautiful. Great work!
|
Beautiful! I have a New Home Treadle that needs cleaned up. You have given me the inspiration to start on it.
|
wow! doesn't even look like the same machine.
|
Thanks again everyone!!!
(my fingers are sooooo sore from rubbing.) I stopped with the Liquid Wrench and went to the bug and tar, non-decal areas. She's got a coat of good wax on her right now, still have the bit's and bob's to clean, then grease / oil and take her for a test run. Hopefully this weekend! I've seen several posts of people buying treadle/66's in the last two days.....*big grin to you!* |
