Took me a while to get a rhythm going but once you figure it out is is easy.

I really need to stop and shorten that thing so I won't have to cuss at it so much. Thanks, |

I thought they were Janomes. The machines were in new oak cabinets. Treadleon says Janome doesn't make a cabinet, but the community has a furniture factory so making a cabinet would be no problem. My daughter just had her hickory kitchen cabinets made by that community. Check out the new treadle machines on Lehmans non electric web site: http://www.lehmans.com/cgi-bin/lehma...?page_number=1 |
