Hello, all!
For the past ten years or so, I've been enjoying my Grandmother's New Home sewing machine as a decorative piece in my home. All of the drawers are in tact and there are even containers of accessories in the drawers
Do any of you have experience or have you had success in getting these beauties back in shape and using them? It's a treadle machine that has been electrified at some point. I've never plugged it in or tried to use it because I've been too scared to destroy it.
I'd be perfectly happy to continue loving it and enjoying it just as it is right now; a family history piece. Just figured since my inspiration to start quilting was having a container full of her old fabric and partially finished quilt blocks, it would be kind of neat to eventually finish something that she started on a machine that she owned.
P.S. - is it Spring yet?
