The first one's a nice machine, especially with the "footers"!! (not worth $200, but nice! LOL)

The second one is a bit spendy....

That third one I'd buy just so I could meet up with the seller and slap them!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Someone posted a thread that their machine died.
I want to offer them one of my treadles...but they may not appreciate my humor.

I thought the same thing...well, not exactly, cuz I'm not giving up my treadles, but thought about suggesting that a vintage machine is purchased for a backup..

I'm not giving up any of my treadles either. As I read the post, I look over at my machines and said a thank you ladies.
Love my vintage ladies and gents!

How many vintage machines would you suggest as a backup? Just curious cuz I have backups for my backups as I know others on theis site do also.
