A beautiful addition to "my sewing space" :

Now to find time to learn the rhythm of the treadle and not go backwards....not as easy as it seems..

Wondering if you could go back to the man and find more
history on your machine.....how it came to him and the
previous owner(s) and other information ,mabe even names
of previous owners (if any). Be a nice history to have for
yourself and others. Just thinking out of the box here. :thumbup:

This is the freshest looking treadle I have see yet. It was well taken care of. --- The only way I could keep from going backwards half the time was to pull the hand wheel forward for a kick start. Otherwise it was a 50/50 chance of going backwards. Unfortunatly the older machines didn't have needle up/down options so it simply starts where it left off. Our feet seem to start the same way each time. enjoy your machine. It will be quite reliable.
