I've got a treadle upstairs in my hallway. It was my husbands grandma's. And my dads got his moms at his house also. So I am familiar with them. I also have a wringer washer in my basement . not being used atm.. but thats ok.. I like my electric one better. Also have washboards laying around down tehre too. And I got an electric sewing machine about 3 yrs ago. Doing some quilting when i am not busy doing other things. Just love it!!
