While talking about my new treadle machine I told her I only had one problem with it "there is no back stitch". She kind of laughed and we went on talking. Then all of a sudden she said "I remember, I remember!" "You remember what mom?" Well she remembered how they did a backstich. "Just raise the presser foot and guide the material back & forth". Daaaaa guess that makes sense but I hadn't thought about it. Everyone have a safe and Happy Holiday! |
Thats what I did too. Got to be so use to it that when I got my first electric machine I kept turing the fabric. LOL Had forgotten all about turning to backstich. Thanks for the reminder and the laugh.

TXJan has a new home cabinet that has a spindle on the cabinet top one the back of the cabinet top near the rear of the machine head. Does anyone know what the purpose of this spindle is. Maybe I can get her to post a pic tomorrow

I'll be making the long drive tomorrow to pick up the Davis treadle, and am trying to make sure I have everything I need to have a safe, secure trip. As I've mentioned before, I will be using a Geo Metro hatchback. I've put the back seat down.
I found this, with directions how to take the head out. http://www.ehow.com/how_10004467_rem...-machines.html I have the flat and Phillips screwdrivers. Someone said big pillows, ziplock bags - anything else? I am still worrying about the fact that I think it should be a coffin top. Will I be able to fit the cabinet, head and coffin top along with my sister? |
I had my tonsils and adenoids out when I was 19, that was a horrible experience. I hear its easier for the younger kids as far as after surgery pain. Wilbur will be in my prayers for a good outcome and speedy recovery.

My Grandson was eating Doritos the next day much to his mothers dismay but he did just fine. He will be fine.
