A very happy New Year to all on board! We celebrated our family Christmas yesterday and guess what one of the DD brought to me (very much to my DH's dismay)! An American treadle coffin top! The cabinet was a bit rough but SIL shored it up! A metal box in one of the drawers is filled with attachments! It has it's shuttle bobbin, and a new belt that I have to put on it. I'm thrilled. Now the big chore is getting DH to feel the same way about it! Or at least willing to share some space!! Could be a long year at our house! LOL!

I actually like this one, and would probably use it. . . .

Ah, Miz Johnny, my thread never tangles, but on a 301 the bobbin runs out often when FMQ. Happy New Year to y'all.
AnnieRose's (301) latest - 1000 yards of thread and not one bird's nest or stitching issue. She may not be a pretty treadle, but she knows how to sew. BTW, the blue and gold were high school colors. I didn't just pull fabric from my stash. My son was pleased. |
Thank you. It fun to do because the blocks all mean something. He is an outdoorsman, who played sports, was in the USMC and now travels for work - hence the Tradewinds blocks. The back has a USMC symbol and his daughter's pictures. There is a stone print in some of the flying geese because he was a stonemason, too.

Beginning the year as I intend to go on?? Went to an auction today, pulled out a ten and rescued another poor sewing machine that is definitely "barn fresh." Cabinet needs a lot of work. I'm thinking the veneer is so torn up and gouged, it might not be worth saving. Looks to be oak underneath. Machine needs a new plug, possibly a foot pedal, and a bobbin cover, but the 99s are just too stinkin' cute to pass up! Funny the cabinets seem to be hard to find, but this is the 3rd one in 6 months I've had.

Tonight, I'm swapping a 66 and a Spartan out of their cabinets and re-arranging a few parts. The 66 gets the bentwood case and a hand crank and the top hat clutch holder thingy off the Spartan. The Spartan goes in the 66 case and waits for top hat looking part and gets better wires & motor. I'm taking the 66 camping.

You might just want to make that cabinet work some how - those babies dance all over the table if they aren't nailed down. Sew-classic has the slide plate
