I said this wish probably around 40 years ago when I first thought about having a space where I could put such a machine but when I looked at the prices of acquiring one of these machines it felt like I would never get a chance to acquire such a machine. The next time I saw a Singer Treadle Sewing Machine was when I went to visit my in-laws and my mother-in-law had one which I always loved and hoped that one day it would be given to my husband but it didn’t so that was fine because we knew it wasn’t meant to be.
Imagine going outside of your apartment building and finding a treadle sewing machine just sitting there waiting to find a new home and that is what happened to my husband. He had also said that he would love a treadle sewing machine even if it was never used but something that we could enjoy. I received a message that said, “Would you like a treadle sewing machine?” and of course my reaction was how much and why are you asking. I did reply “You know I would love one, but don’t have room right now for one.” Well for the price it was something that we quickly figured out how to manage and it was quickly put into our car so that we could take it down to the parking garage and then manage getting it into our unit.
So yes, you may think that a dream isn’t possible, but I can honestly admit that there are going to be times when those dreams come true and you aren’t certain why or how it happened, but you just have to accept that the timing was right. I know that we have looked at antique markets are sewing machines but never found one that was what we wanted. I guess today we were meant to find this sewing machine just sitting there looking for a new home and it now has one and it’s our home.
