But it will be a treadle powered machine! Billy |
She does! That would be a pretty name too!

Maybe just give it a bit to load?

She's priceless to me.
Just the perfect example of the time just before the Industrial Revolution. Great American Innovation. I work in software and just looking at this beauty reminds me of what we're all capable of - the sky's the limit. Well made items will outlast their makers. As they should.

I'm so thrilled! I can't wait until I have a few moments to get to know it and sew something on it! After I oil it properly - the previous owner use WD40 to un-stick it. Now what is this thing I noticed that you all name your pretty vintage ladies? |
Hmmm, it came with it's original manual and there is nothing in there about sewing hats. What lead you to believe that it was a hat sewing machine? Maybe you know something I need to learn! ;-)
Please share....
