Interesting factoid: if you click on the persons name in the post/comment/reply, you go to his page and everything he or she has posted.
Copy/past/view memes to your hearts content!
I also have used my grandmother's treadle machine (Singer) when I was a teenager, RIP grandma and the sewing machine wherever it is. Yeah she is using it from the back side!
According to someone on an internet somewhere, both Elias Howe and Isaac Singer were left handed, and sewing machines are inherently left handed. I'd never noticed that, and have my (right-handed) doubts. The machine shown is standard configuration and the lady behind it has an artistic license.
Me dino just plain could not do that to someone else.
But them I'm not a sociopath without a conscience or a soul.
Old-fart note -- I've used one of those treadle machines, my grandmother's White, and the main difficulty is that there is no reverse. You have to sink the needle, lift the pressure foot, and swing the fabric all the way around.
Do any young folks at all have any idea how to use a sewing machine? Or how to darn socks?
Oh but I, do hope my words are read because I do care about my readers that I might share what I have learned.

Thanks for the comment and the link, Sekeres.
Grew up in a small town, 99% of the roads were Old roads. It took kindness, responsibility, ability and forethought to negotiate them and it was a BLAST!
