Billy - so good to read that your feeling much better. You keep fighting and down the road a piece you'll be back to normal and playing with your toys with gusto.

But my body is still wrecked with lesions that are half healed up and they have a funny hole like thing in the middle of each one of the large ones (1 1/2" or bigger) At least after my wifes careful inspection I do not have anymore wanting to pop up so I am really happy to hear that.

But it was nice to sit around all of my machines and be able to pedal the treadle a minute just to have something to do. I miss my babies!!

We really miss you Billly and keeping you continueously in our prayers, thank you for the health update. That journal is a good mind regulator during these times. When you start to feel even more strength the treadles will help you become even stronger. Blessings be with you my dear son.

Monica, are you sure you would want to place something sew gorgeous in a basement???

I don't have a basement, this is all if.

But you're correct about not putting that in basement. So, my basement has turned into a humongous sewing room!

It's a lovely piece to own...if....

Charlee did you go to the White site under "Serial Numbers/Dating List" and see if your serial number is in there? I'd check that before calling White, just in case it is there, but be aware there are like 42 pages of serial numbers to go through!

Well, I am really bummed! We went to a storage unit sale yesterday. The only machine there was a Glennen Embellishment machine. I had never heard of it so I came home and looked it up. Geeze, after watching a demo on U-tube, I am so bummed I didn't buy the machine! I had never seen an embellishment machine. It has a bobbin and sews down ribbon, yarn, etc., not an actual sewing machine - not a felter, just an embellishment embroidery machine!

This one was another one that was under the overpriced machine.

I'd love to have that 201K; I could do a motorectomy and treadle it. Too bad I'm so far away from Australia.
I'm sure that shipping would be outrageous and then I'd have to worry that it wouldn't arrive in 1 piece. EEEK!!!!

Couching feet, cording feet and ribbon/embellishing feet are all available for most manufacturers. I know I have most of the feet for my Janome and Bernina has scads of them.

Sharon I can tell you from experience that shipping to the US would run around $350 or so. I have sold lots of machines down under including a Red Eye that was new and in an unopened factory crate. I know I should have kept it after all how many brand new treadles do you ever see in your life. But when the individual offered me $2500 for it well I let her go.
