Dave the Treadle Guy

Dave the Treadle Guy was here last Wednesday and pronounced Blossom in beautiful running order!  Pretty amazing that he lives just a two minute walk away. He lubricated everything, put in a new needle and gave me some excellent sewing machine oil to have on hand as needed. It looks like I'll have something fun to do this Winter!

There they go...
