Used to trailer to Vermont for three-day trail rides and the last one two years ago made me realize he was having a hard time. Thought about getting another equine, but don't want to leave a lot of loose ends for my family to tie up some day. Bad enough I will leave lots of sewing machines, materials, antique riding clothes, etc. And neither of my sons ride, nor do they have any children (2 grandsons) who are interested.

I have discovered the thread and have been reading through it, but starting from the beginning it will take me a while to make it through all the posts.

The 15 clone I picked up at our church rummage sale for $20. The poor thing has only been used three times. Her owner found out that sewing was not her thing, DD used it once and decided she didn't like to sew either.

This one is interesting. Never seen a posting for a Hitachi sewing machine in treadle.

I think this machine needs rescuing, don't you?

I'm not up for it, but thought someone else here might be...
