New Home Treadle

Is this cool or what!

This is a New Home Treadle Sewing Machine

with attachments.

Given to me by Jean.

Thank you, Jean!!!

I love you.

Take off the wooden cover and

you find the sewing machine.

There is a middle drawer,

four side drawers,

the needle will move up and down, and

the treadle works.

But there is no belt.

yet...

A repair person is looking for a belt.

I'm going to call her Lovey

because that is the first name that came to mind.

And, besides she looks sweet.

In need of cleaning.

I'm looking into what I should use to clean

without harming her.

There are also attachments and

old packages of needles.

I slid the metal pieces back and found the bobbin.

It looks something like a large bullet.

I have no clue how to remove or wind the bobbin

yet... :)

I love all this stuff!

I spent most of the day doing google searches

looking for information about this machine.

But I couldn't find this exact model.

I would love to sew some blocks

using the treadle.

I have read references to these old machines as

boat anchors!

There were hundreds of thousands made.

I'm sure this machine has no monetary value

but it is priceless to me

because it belongs in the family

and Jean gave it to me.

Besides,

I want to play with it and sew something!

And have fun!
