Default Isn't she lovely? My first treadle!
Just picked this girl up. Found her on Craig's list, turns out the owner learned to sew on her, it was her grandmas machine. That made me a little sad but I loved hearing that bit of history. I just took her from the only home she's known.

But look how beautiful she is. My son John went with me and the owner said she was happy such nice people were going to have her.

Meet Sylvia, my first treadle. I'm so excited!!

Welcome to the treadle club....... she's a beauty. Are you going to use her or just have her for display? Personally, I'd use her!
