So, Here's my sewing machine. It's a Singer 15-89 which was made in Newfoundland. It is made of what our ancestors called metal. Metal is good. Please scroll down.
This is the strange and wondrous device which makes the whole thing work. It is called a treadle, not a peddle. To operate it you must have feet, preferably two, but one will do.
Tomorrow (or sometime soon, I promise) I'll blather on about what my quilt is going to look like and how it's going so far. Or maybe I'll lecture on the benefits of treadle sewing. Hope someone out there is listening...
