Can you do this with a Featherweight? Not sure if it was oiled but think it may have been. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,
Elaine

Yeah run it like the wind and it might smoke a little but it will clear up after a bit.

Dunster, you're just teasing Billy aren't you.

;) ;-)

Cute guys really cute...Luckily I have connections in Nashville so it might be a good thing to get. I still have to look at it and see but who knows I just bought a butt load of needles for this and the Singer W9 machines so I would be good!!

Oh Lisa how is the $15 treadle did you get it yet? I am really hearing talk to me LOL!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Hubby says when you start taking in strays you have become adpotive parents of old sewing machines. We have several singers so we must have a quartet or a choir.
