I'm driving down tomorrow to see (and bringing home) a Singer treadle machine. It's got a fiddle base, coffin top, flower decals and she's beautiful!! She comes with 2 bobbins and I don't have the faintest idea as to how to thread or use them. I've learned so much already and I'm excited about sewing on a treadle. Thanks in advance for any help.

Ask me how I found that one out!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

At least we are skipping every now and then instead of every other stitch. I really would like to get this machine to sew!! I did notice that the stitch length did not change much regardless where the regulator was placed. Glenn

And then, there were two,
one upstairs, one down,
But I read 'vintage' thread,
And one I must own!
I found my old Singer,
a 1904
model 27,
in a cabinet,
she came through my door.
And I thought I was done.
But no! Not quite yet,
Someone said "thrift stores",
I'll find one I bet!
And I did.
Thanks a lot!
Now I can't even pass one
without givin' it a shot
I found Morse Apollo,
alone,
the back row,
She came along with me
The cabinet in tow.
Now surely I'm finished!
My house is quite small.
I can't have another,
I'll not move at all!
But while browsing Kijiji,
just biding my time,
What should I spy?
a little green Elna,
She HAD to be mine!
She is a real cutie,
So now confess.
There's NO ROOM for more,
My house is a mess!
ha ha ha, he he he.
