Treadling instructions for beginners
|
Thanks Shari. My first sewing experience was on a treadle some 60 years ago. I am currently fixing and grooming 3 treadle machines. I do hope that treadling is like riding a bicycle, something you don't forget.
|
This is very much how I learned last year. I have not treadled for a couple of weeks and I find I get rusty but after a few starts and stops it comes very easily. I do get frustrated with breaking the thread when I screw up and it goes backwards a bit.
|
Thanks so much for that link. If I ever am lucky enough to find a treadle I want, (and can make room for), I will be all set! :D

When I get my Redeye back together, I will be ready for this. My Leader doesn't treadle easily enough.

I find it very hard to treadle - I have an old ankle injury on one foot and another old injury (dropped the stove) on the other. I prefer to hand crank. A couple weeks ago, I sewed 3 hats and folded the seams one handed on a hand crank. What ever machine you use takes practice - even the electric...

What a delightful read! Thanks for posting. I do not have a treadle or even want one, but this tute made me laugh out loud.
|
Arthritis don't let me run my treadle machine too much. Beautiful machine though, Red Eye.
|
thanks for the article. I have bookmarked it. when I get my treadle part of my treadle working, I'll be ready for this.
|
Thanks for the site Shari. If I ever get the bobbin plate on 'Grandma Alice' I've got instructions on how to sew with her.
