I'm glad you found one similar to your mother's machine. |

Billy, Prayers for you & Valerie that you continue to improve as He keeps the 2 of you in his healing hands. Yes, this Board is really like a really, really big family. I think quilters, for the most part, are the kindest, most generous people on this planet.
God Bless. |
thinking of you and hoping the right treatment will be put into action....take care and you are loved

I await your suggestions :) :thumbup: |

She is really taken back by all of this and noted that everyone here seems to be like a huge family. I did tell her that she needed to hop on here and give updates letting you all know what is happening with me. I think before it is over with she might be a member of the board too, and she doesnt even sew. :lol:
Billy So happy to hear you are feeling a bit better. :) Thank you so much for opening this wonderful shop. I have put some banana bread over by the coffee! |
I'm late to the party, Billy, but I hope you continue to improve and get better. I'll definitely keep you in my prayers.

I finally did it.....Sewed on one of my treadle machine, a Singer 191U.
I signed up on the Treadle On group to do the fall TOBE to force myself to finish and use one of my treadle machines. So I am working on a BOM that is a UFO making log cabin blocks as practice first. Boy I am getting used to threading the needle as I often start to sew backwards and break the thread. I'm still fiddling with the tension a bit but not bad. It is like it is not releasing when you raise the pressure foot either. I have a question though. My machine is on smooth floor and it moves around when I am peddling. What do you guys use to keep it in place or do I need to adjust how I am peddling? I did learn you cannot use a chair on wheels. Both the chair and the machine were rolling all over. |
