It is a very good place for keeping the DH busy, however! There is a very ugly table holding up a telephone in the dining room that might easily be replaced.

Don't worry, he'll get over it the very first time you use it to make
him something special. Maybe a small quilt or something else for your man. Back in the early 70' I had a collection of them (15). Of course when I moved into my much smaller home in 1975 I couldn't take them with me. Most of them I gave to Henry Ford Museum In Dearborn MI USA. Each of my sister's and myself kept one. It has a wonderful stitch and it just 'sings" it is so quiet. And it is great for when we have power outages. We get a lot of heavy storm activity here and there goes the power... Our trees tend to take the brunt of the storms though but when they come down on power lines is it not much fun. In fact we had a Tornado Warning where a small twister touched down about a mile from us on Monday. I was in the pool at PT when I was ordered out of the water and we all went to the storm shelter. I was dripping wet. When I got home, finally, and there was not power (again) I didn't miss a stitch because of the lack of power. I am so excited for you juliasb Kate Dicey wrote: Quite a while ago I happened to mention to Cathy-mum-of-one-of-small-son's-friends that I wanted a treadle sewing machine.
