BH MQ En Provence 2016 Step #4

This is the first attempted link up of this MQ year !!!  I'm hoping it works.   I decided to sew the MQ on the Treadle.   So far EVERYTHING has been done on it.  She is a 1920 Red Eye Treadle,   She sews really well and is very smooth.

I'm All Done with step #2 !!!!!  Only had to take apart 6 .......Not too bad.   I used method 3.  It made more sense to me, esp with working night shift,  I didn't have to think too hard :)                            I got my fetherweight to working (Thanks to folks on Vintage Sewing Machines on Facebook )                    Steps 1 & 2 done AND ironed.. (the good fairies of ironing did not show up last night )                     see... still have the bonus one to iron.   Time to hit Netflix and race a movie
