Re: Antique sewing machine
It's wonderful!!! Enjoy your treasure!!! I love that style of decal--it looks Egyptian or something. My grandma had a treddle machine, and my mother has it in storage upstairs at her house. I tried to talk her out of it but go nowhere. I learned to sew on a treddle in 7th grade sewing.

That is so pretty. I just wonder how many little girl dress, curtains, quilts, and costumes have been made in its lifetime. If only it could talk.

Re: Antique sewing machine
WOW Denise that machine looks almost exactly like the one I have that was my Grandmother's!! I should check mine out for the date etc. Mine isn't in very good shape does work now, but it was what I first learned to sew on--made a few dresses on it at one time!
Unfortunately is sat in a damp basement for a few years, so the wood is kind of cracked... but it sure looks just like yours! I love my machine mostly because I know my Gramma sewed quilts and clothes for me on when I was a little girl!
Enjoy it!!

Denise - That is a beautiful machine! You are very fortunate to have been given such a treasure! I know you will treasure it too, so it couldn't have been given to a better person.

Denise, it's beautiful! What a treasure! It will look beautiful in your sewing room even if you never use it.
I like the name you chose for it. Your grandmother would be proud.

Re: Antique sewing machine
Oh I'm jealous! I've never seen a Singer like that. VERY unique, priceless. I have a treadle too and there are ladies in my Guild that use them as a primary machine. Treadleon.org is a great site for treadlers. You came download free manuals to from the links there. I've never pieced a quilt on my treadle but would love to one day. Enjoy your new toy, she a beauty. Amie
