Hello!
I was wandering around the web and found this wonderful thread. I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one with a sewing machine addiction! :)
I have a total of 7 machines right now - a Singer Featherweight, a Singer 301a, a Singer 319w, a Necchi in a table(that my grandmother used to make my mom's baby clothes), a Kenmore that I got for $5 at a garage sale because I liked the table, my Brother that my mom got me for Xmas 2 years ago, and a Standard treadle that I bought from my neighbor a couple days ago. The Kenmore is the only one that doesn't work. Well, I don't know about the Standard yet - she needs a belt.
The Standard is my first treadle machine - I'm so excited! I've been scouring the web to try and find some info on her, and I'm hoping maybe you guys can help me. I've included a couple pictures (she needs some work, but I think she's beautiful) and the serial number is 847038. Does anyone know how I can figure out more about her?
