My brother-in-law gave me his grandparents’ old Pfaff:

It took me a while to figure out how to adjust the tension correctly (there was no manual for the machine, but it worked better eventually). She is still at my parents’ because I couldn’t bring her in my car but I am looking forward to have her at our house. I plan to fully oil her (I bought a manual online today), clean her and use her for straight stitch projects (o:

My BIL is awesome, isn’t he?!

Happy Sewing!

  3. What a busy girl... I had one of those Red Cases too.... I am planning hand made kitchen rolls... have you seen them on Pinterest? I learnt to sew on my mum's treadle machine... Still have it but I haven't tried to sew with it.... Good exercise for the calf muscles..... x
