I would recomend a 66 for your treadle, as it is a low shank and very easy to find attachments and parts for, as is the slant needle 301.I have a two tone 301, and I have just gotten a black one from a friend of mine. She has lost her clear coat, and had to be rewired, and to buff a bit of rust off her bobbin case, but she is a dream now.

You won't ever run out now will you? Names . . . my tan is OF- "Old Faithful." The LBOW looks peach more than tan so she is "Peaches".

Any suggestions on picking names? My white featherweight is Elizabeth because that was the name written on her manual so that one was easy. Bonnie, I love your blog. Love your cabin also.
