    Congratulations on your new baby. When is her Bday & what is her name? I wish you many many quilts with her.

    she is great, I love them...someone on here (one of the guys) said you can shine them up with sewing machine oil and they just glow....

    How fortunate you are! Oh and I agree....give her a name. Maybe name her after your grandmother or your friend's MIL. Let us know what you decide, I would love to know.

    Wish I had one of those beauties.

    warm quilt hugs, sue in CA

    You will have to name her. Have a great time sewing on her.

    Now, I'm feeling really guilty! The house we bought had the most beautiful Singer treadle machine I have ever seen. The table part with drawers didn't look that great, but the machine itself was beautiful and ornate. Are you ready for this?? We sold it to the inspection guy. He said he collects them. I didn't want to sell it, but money was an issue at that point. I've kinda been sick ever since.

    What a sweetie. You've reminded me that I have an old black machine in an old cabinet that is hiding under a stack of old bedspreads in my old sewing room. Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow.....thanx

    In the early '60's I made all my clothes for high school
    on a machine like the one shown.
