Yes, it is true........ James Bond has come to roost at our house...
Debbie A, a friend of mine has blessed us two sewing machines that have been in her family for years. They have come to our home, received the spa treatment and taken their place among the herd. Well, this newest member is a clone of a Singer 15... after his spa treatment his surface is shiny and bright. My hubby helped me take the motor off (setting it aside just in case it might be needed later) and he is re-working the original light so that it can be reattached....
Yes, you guest it....the new machine will be treadled. It is a cute little fellow with a nice green stripe that proudly proclaims that he is a Bond Electric Sewing Machine... how could you not name him JAMES??? Now my question is, if I ever demonstrate treadling with James, will anyone notice that he is supposed to be an electric machine???? He is not in a cabinet yet but I wanted to share his good looks with you.

How lovely!! I am so jealous--to combine the love of old sewing machines along with the color green!! I will be watching everywhere for one like this!! (Hey, I have a really great looking 15 clone--has some fancy taiwan decals on it--wanna trade??!!)
I have a question. I see you are always bringing motorized older machines into the fold and you convert them into a treadle machine. So do you also then have to find lots of old treadles for each one?? Or can you set any head onto a cabinet and use a belt to attach one standard foot treadle?? (May be a DUMB question, but I am curious.)
