    She looks gorgeous! I love the fancy decals and iron work on these old machines. Lucky you!

I wish it were my grandma's, but I am delighted and can't wait to learn to sew on a treadle.
    GREAT job! She looks gorgeous!

    She's a beauty!! And just think, when the power goes out, you can sew away guilt-free, because you can't do much else without power. You did a fabulous job on her. Welcome, Pauline!
