Oh machines! So admittedly I love all sewing machines. I love the way sewing machines are such a tangible representation of technology and human ingenuity. My people powered machines are two Singer treadle, a Damascus treadle, an 1872 W&G, and this 1866(?) W&W No.3 with no needle. My hand Crank is a 1932 (a mere child age wise,) Singer model 66 in pristine condition. It has a wood extension with the case. For electrics I have the NECCHI Supernova, the only machine to make it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Then I have Singers 221 black, 221 white, 301, 431G, and a beloved 401G that I am anxiously waiting to find a treadle wheel for. I am wanting to add at least 1 nice vibrating shuttle to my collection but she has yet to reveal herself to me.
Ha! I live in Normandy, have a business in Tullahoma, and work an extra job in Winchester! Hi neighbor!? I would love to go to another TOGA! I went to one in Fresno many years ago. Can't wait to meet you all!

Hi & Welcome Libby;
What part of TN are you from, I'm from down here in Lynchburg. If you can make it come to the TN TOGA this year. It is held in Winchester TN & this years dates are Thur-Sat Aug 9-11.? It is of course sponsored by Treadleon, but even if you aren't a member there is OK to come.
?What is your hand crank? I like the hand machines. Most of mine are retro fit with the reproduction cranks but do have several originals. I am particularlly proud of two W&W hand cranks, a #9 & a D-9.
