She is a beauty and I am positive she will sew like a dream. I love my treadle. It was my grandmothers', and I am 73. It will soon be 100 years young and going strong. It was my grandmother's wedding gift from grandad.

Score!!! I paid 95.00 for my treadle last week...worked on her with a friend and we got her all clean inside and out...and tonight we got her working....love it...use chrome cleaner on the metal...not the body...then singer oil which is 3.00 at Joanns, and 409 on the rust...do not use water on your screws. I did use a little dish cleaner missed with water for the body but only lightly damped a cloth. Good luck...your will love it...take lots of pictures before you tear her a part so you know how to put her back together.
