"Complete
Guide to Treadle Sewing Machines"
As a sewing machine
repair person for over twenty five years, I've seen almost every
problem that can happen with your home sewing machine. I've
seen women so frustrated with their new found treadle sewing
machine that they were ready to set it aside for looks only,
just because they couldn't figure out how to use or operate
it. Normally the old treadles no longer have instruction
books with them, therefore it's up to the owner to try to figure
things out. Even a basic thing like putting on a new belt
is an impossible task when you don't know where to begin and
what steps to take to get it in the right position and secured
properly. |
If you stop and think about it,
the treadle machine is the machine all sewing machines of today were
modeled after. The electric motor was added to take the place of
the foot power of the treadle machines. The shuttle was changed
from the bullet style to the present style of a small round flat shuttle
directly under the feed dog and needle bar, etc.
I've had many requests to try to
locate an instruction manual for treadle sewing machines, to no
avail. After years of request after request for information on
treadle sewing machines, I was finally talked into writing a book of
general instruction for the treadle machine. Keep in mind that
there are many different styles, brands and manufacturers of treadle
sewing machines, and some are made in other countries. With that
in mind, I could not include each of them specifically and cover the
small differences they each may have, therefore this book is written in
a "generic" style so that the information could be applied to
any treadle machine.
