I'd love one although I don't know where I'd put it. I have a small hand crank Singer that I bought for $100 about 4 years ago but I haven't tried to sew with it. It was used a decoration at the house in Marietta but right now it's in a closet. I should find a place for it on one of my shelves.Mary Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07801947879882584734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-81741950172755826792007-08-30T04:12:00.000-07:002007-08-30T04:12:00.000-07:00One day I will find one to rescue (for a sensible ...One day I will find one to rescue (for a sensible price) as well!! For now I will just stick with the machine less table I managed to source.

Recently I saw a treadle machine in a cabinet like that - at a garage sale - but I was driving past and felt that the timing was bad for my wallet, so I forced myself not to stop. I wonder what marvelous thing I passed up??Carol E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02741550863747328734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-72567152745157449172007-08-26T17:47:00.000-07:002007-08-26T17:47:00.000-07:00You picked up a wonderful lot of bargains at the s...You picked up a wonderful lot of bargains at the sale.

If you want to send me the number I will see if the treadles were listed too. That is a beauty. You are right, an extra ironing board comes in handy, especially when a friend comes over to sew with you.<BR/>WandaExuberantcolor/Wanda S Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064308660138307797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-62404734571839950262007-08-26T16:57:00.000-07:002007-08-26T16:57:00.000-07:00Yay!
