In my family room, I have a little workspace, that truly allows me to be productive while my little guy plays and I can enjoy some sun and TV. I bought this old treadle machine years ago more for its Antique appeal than to actually use it, but it does work, my mom used it one day. I just love it and it is a splendid place for the perfect gift from my lovingly supportive husband. Yes, he bought me a new sewing machine!
I have been waiting since Christmas day to have some quiet time to use it, as I needed to thread it etc., and I didn't want any interruptions. It is so smooth and threading was so easy, a little sad I waited so long...so then I needed to test it....
So I did a little test run with some scraps I had stored in my studio room. It's not finished, but it was a great test. Sewing without a peddle is a whole new concept....but I think I like it. Now that I remembered that you can slow the stitching down, I thought that it was already on the slowest...glad it wasn't....now to try sewing curves without a peddle....oh the excitement and challenge....I can't wait to put myself to the test....look out new products...here I CREATE!
That's so nice. What a great gift that was. Can't wait to see what else you come up with. Your creations are always so fun.
