I am so excited... I got my treadle working!!!
I let the belt stretch out over night and this morning it was magic. LOL Now, I need to pick out a few more fabrics for my son's quilt and it will be started. Guess I should learn the whole bobbin thing, but I am so excited that she is up and running. I guess she needs an official name... I think she will be Helen, after my grandmother. Gram taught me to crochet a million years ago... remember the oreo cooking crochet magnets. Thanks Gram!! |

Thank you. I just need to learn how to use them now. These machines are Miss Nellie Bell and Miss Neva Jane Jane. Nellie was the name of the woman's grandmother that I got the machine from and Miss Neva was my mother-in-law. Kathie

BTW, I took my little Featherweight with me and everyone thought it was so cute and quiet! And that's from non-sewist and non quilters! ladies asked me if it was a toy. I guess she'd never seen one before. |
