Sorry that you didn't win.
Is Tulare on the way up to Fresno? I would check this CLs post.

Maybe your treadle and Singer 15.
And this one too:

This looks to be a Singer 15-90; you could use as e-machine or use in treadle.
Thanks, Monica. I've seen those but they are a drive away from me and I don't have time right now to do any more traveling. I''ll have to wait for a bit.

Just had a big car repair bill, so on a sewing machine diet. I did dig through some fabric and use my Pfaff 230 to make a strip quilt top from strips I cut with a cutter that DH got me for my birthday that I figured I'd never use. The Pfaff is the ticket for that, because it is an extremely fast machine. Whoo hoo. For its $10 price, it came with a box of attachments including a hopping quilting foot?, but I haven't even tried it.

It a a Singer Model 66-1 Treadle I got off Craigslist for free! :) :) :)
Works beautifully except for the bobbin winder I broke while cleaning her.
Isn't she a beauty. Haven't named her yet. :thumbup:

For the best instructions on refurbishing a sewing machine, like a Singer 66, check out this link. It is in PDF format and covers just about everything.
