I am so excited... I got my treadle working!!!
I let the belt stretch out over night and this morning it was magic. LOL
Now, I need to pick out a few more fabrics for my son's quilt and it will be started.
Guess I should learn the whole bobbin thing, but I am so excited that she is up and running.
I guess she needs an official name... I think she will be Helen, after my grandmother. Gram taught me to crochet a million years ago... remember the oreo cooking crochet magnets. Thanks Gram!!

BTW, I took my little Featherweight with me and everyone thought it was so cute and quiet! And that's from non-sewist and non quilters!
