| My house is a study in two cultures. Alongside the modern is the traditional I refuse to part with. This is my old treadle machine. It stands open in my kitchen for quickie mending jobs, threaded and ready. A modern machine sits up in my sewing room. It's funny as the monitor sitting there is part of a modern security system. The best of both worlds. |

| Looks like my Mama's sewing machine. When I was little I had the privilege to dust the black ornamental iron work, using a soft brush. As I was told it was not a "chore" but a privilege, no one ever had to nag me to do the job. Wish I had remembered that when I was a Mom, perhaps it would have saved a lot of hassles. |

| Beautiful. Would you happen to know where I can get a bobbin for my Wheeler & Wilson D-9 treadle machine? I am interested in getting a bobbin for use to commission a local machine shop to make some for me. I do have one bobbin for my W&W D-9 treadle but I use my machine often for making quilt tops and I'm reluctant to use my only bobbin as an example for the machine shop. You have a beautiful machine and I'm sure you enjoy it. |

| That is a very nice machine. I recently received my ggrandma's Franklin Treadle, and was wondering if you might know where I could get a manual for it. Connie |

| As a matter of fact, I think I can help you Connie. I'm sorry it took this long to answer, I haven't been over to the gallery for some time and just caught your post. See the link below. I have never ordered anything from this place, but keep it bookmarked in case I need to. |
