Complete Guide To Treadle Sewing Machines

Good Book

Doesn't cover all models. Only covers one and it not a White Rotary! So this won't work for most Singers since they are made by White. Book doesn't say what model it covers... not one that I've seen. So the majority of the information is useless. Book had other bad reviews. I should have listened.

I was extremely disappointed with this book. Rather than new content, this book looks like it mainly consists of poorly formatted photocopied pages from an older treadle manual. There are several blank pages randomly located throughout the book, and most of the pages that contain information are left half-blank. It seems like they were wasting paper to increase their page count.

I’m in the process of restoring my grandmothers 1921 Singer model 66 treadle machine. I was looking for a book that includes the leather belt replacement and routing. Unfortunately this book mostly covers the machine operating system and thread routing.

I gave this book to my 22 y/o along with a treadle sewing machine for Christmas. My husband and I looked through it while restoring the machine and it had some really good tips we used. She’s been referencing it as she gets used to the “less modern” machine she has in her room.
