Thanks for posting the pics 3894. Boy, modern era sewing machines may be miraculous wonders, but they sure are not nearly as swanky looking at the old (heavy as hell) machines.

Growing up, our next door neighbor had a machine with a treadle, loved that thing. I'm all thumbs, and flopped in sewing class. Think the Rachel character in The Trouble With Angels, that was me in home economics.
