[quote=Anonymous]I want to restore my great grandmother’s treadle sewing machine. So Instarted researching how and then I’ve gotten a practice machine. It is interesting to research how all of the parts work and restoration practices. It has also led me down the path of restoring my grandfather’s antique clock. I can do these things in brief bits of time. My DH and I enjoy looking for parts online or at estate sales or auctions. The actual work of restoring is satisfying. And there are lots of people willing to adopt a restored machine. I am now working on teaching myself how to use the vintage sewing machine attachments. That is trickier since I don’t really sew. But my dog may have a fun Halloween costume this year if I can get this shirring foot to work. I used to do more crafts until I realized I didn’t really want my house covered in batik or macrame projects.[/quote]
