Oh, My. What a lovely machine. I would never have been able to pass it up the first time around especially since it was an original handcrank. I am still looking for one of these and hope to find one in as nice a condition as yours. Enjoy!!!!!

Pretty machine. Does anyone know a pattern to make the little crocheted thread pad thing? I think they add a touch to the machines that the red felt pads don't.

Lucky you! The Lotus is also on my bucket list.

She's a beauty.... congrats on your great find.
|
Wow, you sure scored on this one. It's a beauty.
|
Thank you all for your kind comments....yeah, I think I scored on this one...and my bank account it going "ouch" after the treadle purchase and then this one, but it is certainly m:)y pleasure to own them now and I will actually do some sewing on them. :o:thumbup::)

Absolutely beautiful! My MIL has a Lotus 66 treadle in a cabinet, but my BIL keeps saying he would love to have some day (for show, not use!) so I guess it will never be mine, even though I am the only one who sews in the family. My MIL was saying I should take it when my BIL spoke up. Darn.

KLO...those doily spool pin covers came with the machines. Thanks for the link...I don't do the chrocheting thing much but others will be pleased to see the link.
