I am not able to find any manuals to purchase or download for my treadle sewing machine by National Machine Co. I would appreciate any suggestions. Later I plan to spread out a quilt top my grandmother hand stitched over a hundred years ago, its the tulip pattern. I don't know why she did not quilt it..she certainly quilted many many more throughout her sewing years.

You may be out of luck finding a manual for this machine. I had to learn how to use it by trial and error.

I am new to the group but I have a copy of an Improved Eldredge B which is similar it may help but the file is pdf and over 15 mb
if you have an email I will gladly send it to you.

Thank you, Joe for pictures. The nose plate is like my New National, but the leaf tension is a bit different.
