my new old Singer

Perty! :)

What a great find. I learned to sew on a treadle machine.

please, when did you get her, how, how long have you had her, she is beautiful@@
I am so jealous

Beautiful! Why can't I ever find these jewels??? :?:

wow, that is a beautiful piece, furniture & sewing machine. I'm with Eddie, why can't I find something like that!

The story behind this lovely machine is. I went to visit my Aunt in New York. She is 81 years old. I took her with me on a road trip to a quilt shop that a fellow quilter told me about on the cat room.

Upon returning back to her house, I oiled and got the machine running smoothly.

I went out to check on my husband who was brush hogging for our uncle, and came back into the house and she was cleaning out the cabinet. I asked her what she was doing and she said "this is going home with you".

She has two daughters that don't sew, so I now have another machine. This makes 4 singers. I have one more to come my way, which is still at my mother's house.

What a great gift! Enjoy it!

What a beauty. You are so lucky to have it.

Beautiful!! Looks like it's in mint condition too!! How wonderful of her to give it to you!!! :D

She's pretty!

Very nice, it looks similar to the one i have. Very nice gift :D

What a beautiful machine MQ.

I remember my paternal grandmother sewing on a machine like this. I was fascinated at how the treadle going could pull the needle & thread through to sew the fabrics. She made clothes, quilts, and anything imaginable on her Singer.

Flashback: I was in a First Grade Play, as a Butterfly. She made me a yellow Butterfly costume with attachable Wings. She made the upper bodice unit too small & I got stuck when she tried to take it off over my head. I started panicking & felt suffocated. I was maybe 6 yo then & to this day cannot stand to have anything tight around my throat & neck area.

What a wonderful gift you received! :D

Awesome. I had to stand on my head to look, but it was worth it. LOL

Congratulation!!!!! beautiful baby :lol:

Beautiful

Thank you all.

Now that I can move my leg a little more I'm going to start using her, so that I can the range of motion back in my borken leg. Call it self help PT.

We have had a lot of these on graig list for Austin the past month since I have been looking on there

A beautiful gift! Congrats

Wow. Congratulations.

You are so lucky!

What a beauty!!! I love the old treadle machines. I have 3 of them and would love to have another! LOL!!

I'm afraid I'm turning green :) (with envy).

But seriously - well done - how awesome. Don't they look so fantastic.

Absolutely gorgeous!! What an awesome Auntie you have! :)

She's a beauty. What is her age?
Please go to the VIntage Machines thread and post her. We would love to see more of her, maybe with pic turned upright :-)
