I am covered from head to toe with sores and I can not even take a shower without crying in shear agony. I am eating Lortab 10's like they are candy 4 every 4 hours and can not do anything but lie down.

I just hope I can come out of this but I have accepted the fact that I might not and I am okay with it. I had 45 good years on this planet and had a lot of fun and made a lot of friends. But I am so tired of being in pain and suffering its not even funny.

It looks like one of the other manufacturers I've seen out there New Home etc. If it's in good condition, $20 is a good buy.

I have a question though. My machine is on smooth floor and it moves around when I am peddling. What do you guys use to keep it in place or do I need to adjust how I am peddling?

I did learn you cannot use a chair on wheels. Both the chair and the machine were rolling all over.

Two in the laundry, one in the dining room, one machine plus another cabinet in the living room, one just at the top of the stairs trying to decide which room to go into from there, and all of these are in cabinets. Of course there is the small sewing room with the FW and Janome in it, plus the cutting table , ironing table, flannel board, TV, etc......oh I hear a noise....Yep, the machine is deciding the other bedroom is a better bet! LOL!

I signed up on the Treadle On group to do the fall TOBE to force myself to finish and use one of my treadle machines. So I am working on a BOM that is a UFO making log cabin blocks as practice first. Boy I am getting used to threading the needle as I often start to sew backwards and break the thread. I'm still fiddling with the tension a bit but not bad. It is like it is not releasing when you raise the pressure foot either.
