[SustainableTompkins] Need help using a treadle sewing machine

[Wendy Skinner]

I am seeking help with a traditional skill, specifically to wind a spindle, put it in a long bobbin, and put the bobbin back in a treadle sewing machine. I have acquired a "Free" brand treadle machine, model 560, circa 1914, that seems to be in very good condition. The workings are very similar to Singers of the same era. I promised to have a treadle demo at the SewGreen reuse sale this coming Saturday and need to speed up this learning curve! Thank you.
