Beleive it or not my mother said we could not use the electric machine until we had mastered the treadle...She beleived the treadle was safer than the newer electric machines. Go figure. Have not seen on one in years. Would love to have a working model again, but you can never find them around here. I use to live in Schertz, Texas by the way..I really miss it.

I just recently gave mine to my sister, and I kinda miss it! I recently saw one sitting outside a charity dropbox. It was so tempting to grab it, but that is considered stealing.

I think it's wonderful that you want to sew on a treadle machine - takes a lot of practice, but I'm sure it will bring you many hours of enjoyment (and exercise - lol)!<br />Cheers!Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15520872958009985226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-53012273428475846172009-09-17T11:23:43.182-05:002009-09-17T11:23:43.182-05:00Nice machine.

A very very long time ago when I was a young child I use to sit under the machine and work the treadle action for her.
