Trying out the Modern Deluxe vintage sewing machine

April 2, 2017 By Admin Leave a Comment

What could be more fun than hemming hand-woven cotton ticking and a linen runner on the quiet little Modern Deluxe in its revitalized (working) treadle cabinet?

Hard to believe this vintage sewing machine and the lovely treadle cabinet only met last week. Serendipitous indeed. A marriage made in heaven, facilitated by the auction barn and our local sewing machine repair shop.

This vintage machine runs very quietly, being powered by the treadle, not electricity.

The color of the machine and of the paint on the cabinet match so well, it’s nice being able to put such a treasure back to work again.

Linen runner (pre-hemming) and Simtex table cloth from the 50’s courtesy of the Haubstadt Antique Mall. It’s a great place for vintage and antiques, always many treasures to peruse.
