    DH and I went a little crazy this weekend. He went to Central Tx. to visit family and found a casket top treadle, refinished , ready to sew for 200. I found a very large older Koala cabinet with a machine for 250 on CL and a 1939 FW for 150 from a woman whose Mom just passed away in May. Her name was Laverne. So the new FW is Laverne. Now , how do I learn to treadle. I last did it when I was ten now 61. Help!!! Sue
