Question

Does any one know of any one who sells a new treadle sewing machine ? looking for a dealer, thanks?

Answer 1

If you just want a good old fashioned straight stitch treadle, look at ebay and find one in your area that you can pick up.  You could also try Freecycle.

Answer 2

Janome makes a special machine to fit on any standard treadle table and it's available through any Janome sewing machine dealer. Here's the web-page from the Janome site: http://www.janome.com/index.cfm/Machines...  

The dealer could probably offer assistance in finding a working treadle mechanism if you don't already have a treadle table.  The treadles aren't that rare, they lasted far longer than actual sewing parts.

Answer 3

Although treadle sewing machines still are manufactured outside the US and marketed in third world countries without reliable electricity, they are not marketed in the US.  I have heard that Singer makes these; you might contact the company to see if they can sell you one directly or put you in contact with a dealer.
