Treadle (from Old English: tredan, “to tread”) is a foot-powered lever mechanism; it is operated by treading repeatedly, providing an ingenious way to utilize human power for mechanical processes. The treadmill, treadle sewing machine is a remarkable example of this technology, equipped with a belt that enhances its functionality and allows users to order parts as needed. This versatile machine can also feature a hand crank or be employed with a leather belt that connects the head to a large wheel, effectively controlled by the user’s foot on the pedal. Such a design not only promotes efficiency but also ensures a smooth sewing experience. Commendable brands in this category include Singer and White, known for their reliable and durable treadle machines that have stood the test of time, making these devices a beloved choice among sewing enthusiasts and professionals alike.
