No--it is a very bad repaint. Billy didn't do it. Nancy |

I also have a Free with wooden legs, and two smaller treadles--a Franklin and a National--with wooden legs. Nancy |

Nancy The Singer coffin top treadle that sits in the living room is so quiet I can sew and nobody complains that they can't hear the TV and I can still talk to DH while I sew. :-D I suspect that something is in need of adjustment for my straight leg cabinet to quieter. Sharon W. |

Do anyone know what model of Singer this is?

I didn't realize Gardendale is in AL. (The pink Brother). My son is working in Huntsville. I guess I'd better go look at a map.
