One of my passions is collecting and restoring anique and vintage sewing machines, both for their aesthetic appeal and the excellent way in which they stitch all manner of items.  Being a keen quilter I love the ease with which you can quilt beautiful lines using just a hand crank sewing machine and the spectacular freemotion work you can do using a foot powered treadle.  Antique people powered machines can be found in charity shops, ebay and even at your local tip if you look hard enough.   You can also find some lovely newer vintage machines in the same places but it can be a minefield especially when you are dealing with old and often unsafe electrics.  We are always happy to offer advice on buying and restoring machines and offer lessons on how to use them and clean them yourself.  If you already have an antique people powered machine and would  like it serviced, restored or even wish to sell it please see our list of services.
