You all remember my anniversary gift....the Köhler treadle. First the "before pics":

And these are what she looks like today. This girl has had a rough life. From the little research I've done, these are not a common machine in the States, she was made in Communist Post WW2 East Germany. She needed a little tension adjustment after I finished messing around, but is now sewing like she was made to. Very easy to treadle!! I think Liesl is going to be one of my favorites! The feed dogs drop, and she has a reverse!
