Isn't it interesting how we view things? When motors came out for the sewing machines, there were obviously many who couldn't wait to have the ease of sitting down to a motorized machine. Now there are many of us who would prefer to use the treadle.

I have to do some work on the cabinet, too. The veneer is loose and broken in many places. I have refinished my dining room table before, but that was solid wood. Any hints for the process are welcome. Nancy |
Thanks for your new photo. My son and I had fun with this mystery, and he now agrees with you on the 'G'. Thanks for the fun entertainment. Enjoy your new vintage machine.

There was a box wired onto the bracket between the legs of the treadle. My DS stopped by and was looking at it. He wanted to plug it in to see if it worked. I showed him the box that I took off. I noticed some wire coiled in it like springs...or heating coils. He says it looks like a small ceramic heater. It has an outlet in the cord to plug a motor and a light into it. I found out my machine is a model 127, and was manufactured in Elizabeth, NJ on March 4, 1919. They told me i can download a free copy of the instruction manual at www.singerco.com

me. It had no machine, my 201K-4 lives in it. It took me awhile to find all the treadle parts again, the belt wheel,belt guide and skirt guard were all missing. From what I gather the treadle pedal was used to power the machine via the electrical box. |

http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...ls/127-128.pdf Very interesting thing about the little thing you think looks like a ceramic heater. Those ladies didn't have the heat in their houses we do and I bet their legs got cold -- especially if they had towear skirts! Interesting! Nancy |
I thought it was quiet here, but listening closely I can hear all the Christmas elves speedily sewing- such a glorious hum. Have fun with your projects!

Oh and I am putting all the borders on my last two quilts with my 15-88 treadle!~ Nancy |
Miz Johnny did you get all the Boye 10 needles that I had bid on off of E-Bay? I bid on like 10 different tubes, some with 12 needles, some with 5 needles for my Davis and I lost everyone to someone that outbid me the last second! Someone out there is using her Davis Vertical Feed Treadle! I wasn't even worried about it as I didn't think those needles were that popular!
I hope you got them Miz Johnny as I know you use your Davis! LOL or any one of you for that matter -- I hope someone got the needles to use them! Nancy |
