Just got this treadle last weekend. The head could stand a good cleaning and the cabinet refinished-BUT, I'm pleased! A lot of the attachments are new to me. I've searched the net for more information about this machine, but not a thing comes up. The throat plate says to use only genuine needles!? I would like to know more about the history of this machine.

I haven't a clue what most of these are

That looks like a long throat. Is it longer than a regular sewing machine?

Glad you found it.

I measured and it is 1" wider than my Bernina.

Some of the attachments look like they could be used as torture
inducing instruments. : )
