Hi All,
The Treadle I have is a "Selecta", from USA I think. It has lots of
attachments but no book. Have not taken a good look at what they do.
I learned on Mum's Treadle, I was 5 because my brother Michael was crawling
when he caused the needle to go through my thumb and he drowned 2 weeks
after I turned 6 at 14 months.
Mum got a Deluxe Model Singer in 1960 and that machine has cams. It is at
my daughter and son-in-law's at the moment but will come "home" when they
pick up their new Brother 2500 which I won with my Spotlight card last week.
They are expecting their first baby in February.
Today I sewed the last border on Matt (abovementioned SIL)'s first quilt.
Grandma Grace was a well known quilter in southern Indiana and will watch
this happening with a smile on her face.

My mother's Singer had a buttonhole attachment. She got the machine for a
wedding present in 1953. I used the same buttonhole attachment on my
Singer 25 years later, and now it is used on my Elna Carina, which has the
cams. As Australia's power is different, I passed the machine to my mom,
and when she moved to the UK, my sister inherited it still with the 1953
buttonhole attachment. I wish I had it for my Husqvarna Designer - as the
old buttonholer does the best job.
