MamaTiger Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Not sure where to put this...but I am looking for a treadle sewing machine. The only place I have found them is at Lehmans', but the sticker price there will a body heart failure Anybody know any other place that carries them? My searching was turned up nothing of interest.

calliemoonbeam Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 You can find lots of used ones, but don't try to have one shipped, they weigh a ton and the cost will kill you! I bought not one, but two treadle machines this past summer, a 1907 Singer and a 1913 White. I know, what do I need two machines for? Well, through a weird twist of fate, I was able to get them both within 24 hours of each other, paid $60 for the White and $50 for the Singer. Like my son said, who could pass up a deal like that?? He actually found them for me, what a good boy! So I'm now the proud owner of TWO treadle machines for a grand total of $110, woo hoo! There are also lots of places online to buy replacement parts such as belts, needles, bobbins, etc., as well as manuals and special attachments. Good luck in your search! Link to comment
MamaTiger Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 I've emailed the person in Fl with one...not heard back yet. I've tried freecycle and Craig's list in the past as well. Hoping I find as great a deal as you got! Link to comment
