Joey likey .... White treadle
IF I were anywhere near this, it would be mine!

I have only one non Singer treadle, and I've yet to see a nice White anywhere close enough I could go for.

Lee,
Thanks for the offer. But I'll just slobber on the keyboard, way to many expenses coming up in the next couple months.
Miriam,
We're planning on a trip to Indy in the not to distant future. What kind of table should I bring?

I think my treadle is a White - it belonged to my great-grandmother. My grandmother wanted me to have it so bad that I was the only grandchild named in the will. Everyone else came and picked the house clean (she lived out of state), but she sent that treadle home with me. My future husband took it apart, we shipped some of it home to our neighbors (UPS) and the rest we found a spot for in my little Mercury Capri! Not sure where he was able to pack it, but we did get it home and reassembled. I have never used it for sewing, but it is sitting in my dining room now - I have been tempted to give it a try from time to time. I would never part with it. I wish I had seen this one, I live about five miles from that Goodwill and I would have bid on it. I have bought two smaller machines from them - a Singer 40K and a Singer SewHandy (both tiny machines and in their original boxes). I don't buy anything that I can't pick up because they aren't real good about packing.

Treadles are so much fun to use. Can't image having a family machine and not playing with it. You can't break it - they are so well made. When ever anyone admires mine, I make them sew something, even if it is just a straight line, it's a fun experience. My grandmother gave me the one I have and my sister was visiting once and I made her use the machine instead of the electric one and she was having a ball.
