White Rotary Treadle Antique Sewing Machine - Sewing Machine Refurbishing

Refurbishing of an antique Treadle Sewing Machine - White brand. Over 100 years old. Tips on Cleaning and maintenance.

I originally purchased this at a garage sale and got it for a very good price. All it needed was a little TLC.

The cabinet will most likely have to be refinished but that will be another video for another day.

Getting to know this machine and create the video of all the work that was done to clean and oil it was definitely a labor of love.

She restores a lot of antique sewing machines and had a nice video on restoring a 1908 Rotary Sewing Machine (White)

She does a lot of sewing videos using a treadle, but had a great two-part video on How to clean and oil a vintage sewing machine.

ISMACS International
This is the International Sewing Machine Collectors' Society where you can look up and find more information on your specific sewing machine, and if they have a pdf of the manual for it, you can download it for free.
I believe they will also price sewing machines.
