Very interesting. Thank you! I regret not getting my maternal grandmother's Singer foot treadle sewing machine, in a beautifully crafted cabinet-table, as shown in the opening. (We had no place to put it.) I can picture it in her dining room, and "hear" the clattering sounds to this day.

You did a lovely job hosting and narrating this video. I enjoyed it very much, thank you.

I was just looking at a modern Pfaff industrial machine and I found out that the guts of the machine were based on a Singer 111W which started production in 1901!
