treadles by ana (4.00 / 1) #1 Fri Aug 25, 2006 at 08:04:25 PM EST

i've used them, but it was always a crapshoot whether they'd start up going forward or backwards.

My mom had one when I was a kid (I'm not sure if she still has it).

I wonder if the backwards/forwards bit is an issue with all treadles.

Seriously - you sew? Who taught you?

And then when i was in college, we decided the chaplain needed more vestments, so we made him some. These days i only do minor repairs and buttons and stuff.

I am very thankful... by toxicfur (4.00 / 1) #5 Fri Aug 25, 2006 at 10:06:36 PM EST

for this talent of ana's. My grandmother - a home economics teacher - tried very hard to teach me to sew. It didn't work. So, once, as I was getting ready to visit Bostonia, I was on the phone with ana while trying to sew on a button. I think ana got tired of hearing me saying "fuck" again and again, so I brought with me the pants and button, and it was all taken care of. Yay for ana.

What a great mom. by calla (2.00 / 0) #6 Sat Aug 26, 2006 at 12:55:58 AM EST

Not even my mom taught me. She sent me and my sister off to sewing class. I also learned in church.

I think you are the first man I've known that could really sew. You've got my respect and esteem.
