Thanks for letting me join.? I have an inherited Wheeler and Wilson # 9 treadle which belonged to my grandmother.? She came from the Kansas City area to Texas when she was in her 70’s bringing her machine with her.? I remember her sewing on it in the late 60’s and early 70’s.? The machine was gifted to my cousin in Kansas upon grandma’s passing in 1971 and spent the last 35+ years in his basement.? He recently passed away and the sewing machine found its way back to me in Texas last year!? I have it in the shop now and the technician says it is purring like a kitten but the dilemma is finding appropriate needles.? I’ve been in some e-mail conversation regarding the proper size needle but cannot seem to find the needles on line.? Nice to “meet” everyone.
