The cabinet is absolutely gorgeous. One of these days, I need to open up my treadle and find out the model number I have. The only thing that was difficult for me to learn was you have to start thinking of slowing down at the end of chain piecing. We are so wired to just left up the foot off the petal of an electric DSM when we want to stop.

Quiltingcandy - the couple that I bought her from outside of Dallas, TX had purchased her in Ohio about 5 years ago. The wife in Dallas was raised with both her mom and grandmother using a treadle. She was not a seamstress but had a great affection for treadle machines. When they moved to Texas her house is much smaller and she had to let go of some of her treadles. I could tell she dearly loved the machine.
I drove over 200 miles to pick her up because she was the prettiest machine I could find for sale. I was following the advice "find the cabinet, then the sewing machine" and lucked out to find both in one. This cabinet and machine are more than I was ever expecting when I decided I wanted one.
A little history about me. About 1985 my brother sold me a treadle he had since he was upgrading to a nicer one. I kept that treadle for over 20 years - not to sew, but as a piece of furniture to enjoy looking at. My husband just doesn't understand antiques and for 20 years he kept asking why I had to keep it. In a week moment, I told him I would find a new home for it. I have deeply regretted that move almost immediately. Since I started quilting again about 4 years ago, it's been eating at me. So this year I decided to follow my heart and get one again.
I feel very blessed!
