some pics of my old sewing machine after spending many hours refinishing the woodwork. It was so bad, it had huge patches where there no finish at all and much lifting and bubbling of veneer. Itâs still really beat up. I havenât waxed it yet which should help filling holes. Later today Iâll be having a go at using a tough wire brush on that base, the softer brush did nuttinâ.

Donât know the series number, but I first leant to sew on one of its close relatives. Identical woodwork.

Same. Feet, eyes and hand coordination needed.

Same here. Grannyâs old machine was a tabletop Singer of an earlier vintage with a wind up handle so you had to manoevre thread and material etc with only one hand. Mumâs treadle one like this was soo much easier cos you could have 2 hands available. And Mum had zillions of different feet for it. Only downside was no zigzag stitches, but itâs straight stitching was excellent. My sister has it now, and itâs still in use.

Thanks, itâs really been through the wars with all those knocks and scratches, itâs a machine after all!! đ±
Terrifies me working near or on the treadle , it could easily break my fingers or wrist if it moves while Iâm cleaning or painting
