I was just getting good at using my treadle when I caught the 'embroidery bug' and found a great deal on HSN for an embroidery machine. I do love it but I find myself missing the treadle... IDK, something about the simplicity of it, and it's history, and the amazing fact that it's still working after 116 years!
