I learned to sew on a treadle machine. When I was in High school, they had these new aqua colored electric machines that when you put your foot down, it went too fast, so the girls would come in and race tot he new machines. Me, I went tot he treadle machine and sewed slow till I got he hang of the rhythm of the machine. I don't have one but sure would like to someday! Beautiful machine! Congratulations. Jan

Congrats! I have one just like her. She needs to be cleaned & given the spa treatment by Billy. Still waiting on the one Billy has that he's painting. Want to sew on it soooooo bad.
