Pearl has been Treadled!

Written By Guest User

Pearl, my new Singer 223, has been treadled. She’s very happy.

A few weeks ago, I got another bout of the “the bug.” A super heavy duty midcentury Singer was being sold for a very reasonable price right near my house. So…I had to. Nevermind that I have how many sewing machines now? Too many. This one’s allure is the combination of:

  • Being super duper wooper heavy duty

  • Feed dogs go down easily

  • Zigzag stitch

  • Blind hem stitch

  • SHE CAN BE TREADLED.

When I brought her home, I set her up on top of Vivian White’s cabinet, just like you see here, but with the lid down and Vivian tucked inside. But…in the middle of a project (see next blog post!) Pearl did something, ahem, “shocking.” I won’t go into details here—read the next blog post for that. But let’s just say—working with Pearl this way is like buttah. Smooth, soft and easy. What a treat.
