I thought about buying it, but knew my husband wouldn't be happy about more 'stuff' in the house. I wish I would have bought it though, as I keep thinking if we lose electricity, my current machine will be of no use. :( My Grandmother also had one of those machines, as teenager, I sewed on it.

Wish I knew how long she'd had it, etc. AND wish I had it now. Didn't think to ask for it when she died, as I was so shattered.Jean | DelightfulRepast.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038772991628796917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576298406112195977.post-61199754548983115432015-11-27T19:28:49.314+01:002015-11-27T19:28:49.314+01:00I deeply regret parting with my Singer Treadle Mac...I deeply regret parting with my Singer Treadle Machine when I married my second husband. We both had our own houses so a lot of 'stuff' had to go before we moved into our marital home. The machine had been bought by my Mum when she and Dad got married in 1932; it was well-used by her as she made all my clothes and a lot of my brother's when he was young, all her own clothes, curtains, furnishings, clothes, etc for friends and neighbours and then for the grandchildren as they came along. It still had the original hand-written bill of sale in one of the drawers, plus shuttles and needles, instruction book and small can of machine oil. It had been kept beautifully and had no marks or stains on its polished wood - and in those days before eBay, I think I took it to a charity shop. :( Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00914227535503925006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576298406112195977.post-25211836936644241232015-08-30T00:50:38.566+02:002015-08-30T00:50:38.566+02:00Hello Penny,

When we moved to our home here in Spain there was an old treadle table from a machine but the machine went with the previous owners of the house. My husband gave the treadle part away and I could kick myself (or him!) now as they make such lovely pieces of furniture.<br />I look forward to seeing this again when you've given it a little clean up :)<br />Hugs Sharon in Spain xSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576298406112195977.post-4340849700326079002015-08-24T17:11:25.472+02:002015-08-24T17:11:25.472+02:00I love antique Singer Sewing machines and have qui...I love antique Singer Sewing machines and have quite a collection myself of which I think I have photos of most on my blog. Sadly though I have decided I really need to part with most of them, as I just don't have the room. Trouble is you can hardly give them away here and yet all mine are in fully working order and if I lived in say Australia for instance they go for quite a good price - or so my friend has told me! lol ;-)<br /><br />I have a couple of treadles though that I am keeping. <br /><br />Yours looks a beauty as well.Serenatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473750681150978115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576298406112195977.post-77788404728876682792015-08-24T16:37:09.537+02:002015-08-24T16:37:09.537+02:00Like you my chilchood was spent moving about and s...Like you my chilchood was spent moving about and so I had few possessions but in my case it has made me want to be unencumbered with "stuff" and I am forever bemoaning the amount of things I have and having a good clear out!! Hope you and your Singer will be very happy together and I sometimes wish I hadn't been quite so hasty in getting rid of my old Singer hand machine as for some things it worked better than my Frister Rossman!!Marigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576298406112195977.post-55236293932551123922015-08-24T16:20:20.661+02:002015-08-24T16:20:20.661+02:00It's a beautiful machine...but how many have y...It's a beautiful machine...but how many have you got now??Elizabethdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405703727112759947noreply@blogger.com
