I wish I still had the original photo from Facebook Marketplace, but I can’t find it. Anywho, she was just $50. Tucked away in someone’s garage. She was thoroughly covered in dirt, dust, and all sorts of unloved.
A little elbow grease, varnish & wax, and she’s almost as good as new. I’m obsessed with her.
A beauty! Will you stitch with her? Mine needs a belt, she was $100 from the thrift store, a house warming gift from my mama. Also a White! Her name is Betty
Wowww, what an amazing housewarming gift! Are ours twins??
Seeing yours reminds me I never took a picture with the modesty panel on the front affixed again. It was broken off when we got her, but at least the lady still had it, so that was a bonus.
I haven’t stitched with her yet, but I hope to someday.
Your wood work is more ornate & definately the machine decorations are too. Same drawer handles and stand though so very close. The lighting in the hall won’t allow for great photos, sadly, but one day I’ll figure out her year and model number.
Gran’s Singer & a hand crank we found are in the studio. They both function but the Singer smells horribly of ozone when it’s on.
It looks beautiful! I love the smiling drawer pulls. I am just about to restoring a Singer treadle machine. Do you have any tips, tricks or websites that might be helpful? Magpie got me to thinking about a name… Perhaps, Ella, for one of my favourite singers.
Oh wow! Just beautiful! Good job at recovering it! I really love these machines but I just don’t have the space for it! I agree the drawer pulls totally look like Muppets or something.
