mickey

pictures tomorrow.

It is a 128 almost like the one that I have, just missing a few items. What all came with the machine? dont worry about the motor you can put a hand crank on it or I might be getting rid of my electrical set up on my 128 just depends. If I do you can have first dibs.

Ooops, my mistake, this really is my third treadle. I think this will be my last. Although I just saw a new one today... it could be hopeless for me not to just take a peek each day. :oops:

What have you named her? She sure is pretty.

Blessings my friend,

Not yet. I will. Blessings to also my friend. :P

Linda, love that machine. Wish it were in my home.

Can you believe it? Remember I said I wanted a FW 221 from 1955 and a FW 221 K, also from 1955 and a Singer Queen Anne cabinet and bench, plus a white/green FW from 1964? Welllll, guess what was on e-bay tonight? ALL of them. I was so discouraged, as I am p-poor right now, so came in here before I did something I will regret like bounce teh checkbook and make DH upset.

So, I will look at all your lovely machines and dream some more.

Linda I am in love with your machine!!!! It is such wonderful condition I can not believe it is as nice as it is. :shock: :shock: :shock:

If you get tired of it I would love to have it in my collection!!!

I will think about. The only thing is the more I look at it the more I love it. It has little intricacies on it that I have not seen on other machines so far.

Did you notice under the table on the left the 2 half circular things? Well, you move the left circleish thingie about a half inch or less to the left and then the table folds. It is so clever. Why on earth did manufactures not pick up on this and include something like it. You could set bricks on it and that side extention is never going to bend like so many of them do.

Oh, I better quit. As far as I can tell its serial number is 28120 or 8120 but I can't locate a serial number search for it.

Thank you, Kygirl You know my husband has been learning along with me. He is the one who had the time to go look at it and purchase it. I "had" to stay and play with the grandkids. They are so cute... even cuter than our vintage machines.

:-D ;-) ;-)

Well the tutorial is in the works. I will have the first installment done tonight, and I am figuring since it is going to be so long and drawn out I will do it in 4 to 5 installments.
