I got an old Athena Touchtronic that is 30 years old for $20 at a rummage sale. It works great and is heavy duty. But no table. But it is portable.

Very cute!Amnicon Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500618614765849203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2218523812554854094.post-52742926685609886032008-07-09T23:43:00.000-07:002008-07-09T23:43:00.000-07:00Believe it or not, people actually still use those...Believe it or not, people actually still use those machines. And they often work great-- better than fancy new machines if you are just doing a plain straight stitch. I used to collect them and I wasn't the only one.

A great source for information and community is http://www.treadleon.net/Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07153009070557500662noreply@blogger.com
