Hello!
I am new to this community and I have recently bought a 1925 treadle machine. The owners said that their grandmother was the one who bought it originally and it had been in the family since. There is a little bit of water damage from plants sitting on it but they said the machine was in working order. I don’t know much about these but I am so excited to learn and to use it! I took the machine off the table and I have been oiling it and cleaning it and I have noticed that the hand wheel works but the needle does not move. Does anyone have any suggestions for things to try to fix it? Thanks!
Edit: I added some pictures of the machine, serial number, the inside where the needle is, and the bobbin winder. The winder used to be stuck in a down position but I was able to fix it.

I’ve broken 4 needles in 30 minutes, every time while slowly sewing backwards. I think it hits the stitch plate, but for some reason the feeding dogs don’t feed the fabric backwards when I do reverse, it stays still and the needle ends up breaking. Not sure what I’m doing wrong :(
I got some cheap needles from Ebay and when I start sewing they just snip my thread right in half. I'm going to order a new set of more expensive ones that work with thicker fabric but now I'm worried they'll also do the same. Is it just because they were cheap? I'm sewing with fluffy blanket fabric so maybe these needles are for super thin fabric or something. I've just never had this happen before.
I am dating a new man. I always have had a hard time keeping track of my sewing needles/pins. He found one on the floor ( he didn't step on it). Besides stepping on it, he is worried that his dog will swallow one. We aren't living together but if we do, I would like to get it under control. Any advice on keeping from losing them? I use pin cushions ( I notice sometimes pins fall out of them) and needle books, but I often make little "kits" that I take around the house with one color thread, a needle and the project. I also sometimes keep projects pinned to pattern pieces until I am ready to sew them either by hand or machine. Curious if anyone else has strategies?
Hi!! I have kind of a weird question, I'm VERY confused haha! So I found out from an online hand sewing needle size guide I have a size 1 darning needle, and I'm looking to buy more (my current one is bent a little). However when I search for a size one darning needle on the Joann's website (I have coupons!) I get a listing for size 1/5. The needles in the image all look the same, so does size 1/5 mean the same as size 1, or is this a completely different size than I need? Anything helps!
Name: Sewing Needle
Nen type: Emitter and Manipulator
The user shoots a single beam of aura out of his/her finger (the beam is very thin which makes it look like a sewing thread) and is able to directly control the path of the thread of aura.
The thread of aura is so fast and powerful that it is able to penetrate anything from bone to metal.
And since the user is able to control the path of the thread it would be able to hit almost anything, and anywhere. The thread would be able to turn corners or hit multiple people in a very short time (ideal for sniping).
Conditions:
The user is unable to move from the place where he/she casted the needle.
The path of the thread is very clearly visible so its place of origin will be obvious (once the user casts it their hiding spot will be given away if they have a hiding spot).
