As you know from the prior 3 part post, this is
where the loom lived...
After it left home, each time Don walked into the room, he
thought it looked so vacant and asked what I needed to fill the void...
We discussed some options and placed an order with Amazon.
Even with the holiday season upon us, it arrived 4 days early!!!
I anxiously removed the pieces and the assembly instructions...
assumed my position on the floor with all the numbered pieces
placed around me in numerical order.
Don brought in the necessary tools in addition to the small
Alan wrench that came with the many screws of assorted sizes.
Together we managed to get it assembled and
I think it filled the void nicely. The part of the story you
may not be aware of is that I learned to sew on my mother's
New Home treadle machine when I was 9... 72 years ago. I had a hard time
because I am left handed and always started that darn
treadle going in the wrong direction. With a loom foot treadle
all you had to do was step on it. Now I'll be able step on my foot peddle easily,
to operate my 26 year old New Home - Memory Craft Machine that
still sews like a dream (and looks good too). And, it will be used more
now than when it was in it's case in the storage shed. Thanks again Don.
