How many of you learned to sew with a treadle machine?

My hand is up, I learned on my Mom's Singer treadle machine! I made doll clothes and then graduated to clothes for myself. My Mom made utility quilts and sold them. I still have a few of those quilts and her treadle now belongs to me. :D

MANY years ago I learned to sew on my grama's treadle machine. I was 4 when she started letting me push the pedals and we graduated slowly from there!!
I learned on that machine, and taught my home ec teacher a few things in the late 50's! :)
Grama lived with us, and what is even sweeter in my memories, is at 92 she helped me make my first crib quilt for my first daughter.
I still have her machine and use it to this day...I would never part with it, and it is already willed to my first daughter (out of 3)!
happy quilting memories...
