My new treadle a No. 27-4
Isn’t she beautiful? She came home yesterday. I bought her at an estate sale. The lady who owned her used to quilt for me. I know it will sew but it is pretty dirty. It came with original books, boxes of feet and tools, needles, etc. I am in love.

Tartan, the floor is tile but I will do that. Leo first, No I have t unless my grandmother’s was. I learned to sew on hers when I was 4 years old. This beautiful machine is a real learning experience for me. I wish there was a knowledgeable person nearby as I have a lot to learn! Right now I am reading the manual and identifying the parts and starting to think I might be in over my head.

Congratulations on getting your treadle. I have one that was owned by my Great Aunt May. She bought it in 1925. It is so fun to use. My sister came to visit me after I got it and I made her sit down and sew on it too.
