I am with Dunster, needing my treadle closer to a good window. I hadn't really thought about the iron, but have one my ancestors used - its a big deep one that you put coal or wood embers in to keep the iron hot! I think I could manage it somehow, right now it is a door stop and has been for about 75 years. I lived in Alaska in the "bush" in the 70's without electricity, so I have some skills, but we are really spoiled with our conveniences!
