Monica, I do have a serger, but not in a treadle! Love the serger, though, for finishing fleece blankets for the grandkids - so fast and easy! I also use it to finish sweat shirt fabric! If you get one, you will love it - I never thought about treadling a serger, though!

I have a serger also and have it set up so I can just swivel my chair from my 15-91 or my new Brother (sorry, but I still use it sometimes too) all my treadles are in another room. I do have them set up in a U formation so I can swivel when using them also. I just love all my machines & am full up cause the last treadle is still in my DH's workshop cause there is no place in the house for it YET.

Doing the happy dance here is LA today!! I filled in part of my wish list this morning at a garage sale....a Red eye, electric, decent decals, pics to follow later today. Marked $25, paid $20, already rewired and sews. I even remembered to take before pics. Can anyone tell me the years that the Red eye decal was used? Is there a web site that tells that? I was thinking there was one on the unmentionable site that is not available to some of us, so if anyone can help, I would appreciate it.

Edit: I already know that it is a 66, G3320914, November 20, 1913, one of 12,000. I guess my question is in general, what was the first year of the red eye, and last year of it as well?
