All I can say is WOW! To think that I gave away a machine and cabinet just like that a couple months ago, the decals were not near as nice though. Oh well, it is being used on a regular basis now and would not have been used here at all with the other machines I have. Fantastic job on the cabinet.

Gorgeous!! Chloe is so pretty, too. I had a cat that was the same color and her name was Veronica.

Are you saying that you didn't do anything to the cabinet to make it look like that? I have a cabinet just like that but it's dark and dull looking.

ETA: Just in case you haven't run across Treadle Lady's web site I'm posting it here:

She has some informative and cute YouTube videos about her machines and how to use them.

No, we just used Rustic Touch a Melaluca product on the cabinet and washed the metal off with a damp cloth. Lots of dirt came off. The people we bought the cabinet from took good care of it. They had moved to a smaller house and we purchased it out of their garage sale. It had been sitting in the garage for a couple of years. Chloe, my kitty, is from out in our barn. She loves to be involved in everything and loves to be rocked. [ATTACH=CONFIG]298835[/ATTACH]

Beautiful machine and cabinet! Love your cat and quilt too! I only clean my sewing machines with sewing oil since it doesn't remove or silver the decals. It takes a bit of time to clean the machine this way, but the dirt and old oil come off.

Oh my gosh! That is a beautiful machine and cabinet! It looks as if it was just delivered new. I hope you have loads of fun sewing on her.

Gorgeous cabinet!!! I've got an old redeye too but haven't go around to working on the cabinet yet and it's not a fancy one like you have. Have fun treadling away.
