TreadleOn
There are two routes to get in touch with local members of TreadleOn, both available only to subscribers to the mailing list. There is a database of members who might be prepared to meet in person, and a directory of members who have shared some profile information about themselves.
For mailing list subscribers, the Meet an Onion database lists Onions by state or country.
If you find a contact in the database, it means the person is willing
to talk to you; possibly help with your problems, and certainly chew any
amount of metaphorical fat over the doings of the Vintage People-Powered
sewing machine fanatics brigade community.
Possibly also get together to sew or whatever.
You don't have to be an expert, just friendly.
It does not mean that anyone here can or will value your machine, mend it for free, or put up with any silliness... So, don't.
This database is new in 2021. Provided you are on the mailing list, you can create your own entry in the database, edit it and delete it at will. Keep your entry brief, please: just a link to your TreadleOn profile or your own web page, your name, and your approximate location (US state or equivalent). Provide more information in your profile or on your own web site.
You can use the TreadleOn members directory to find out as much (or as little) as members have published about themselves, provided your own Groups.io profile is shared. There is a search box, which finds slightly more than just names.
Here is the Groups.io general description of the Directory. As for the Meet an Onion database, you have to be on the mailing list to set up your own profile and to use the directory.
If you had an entry on this page, or were looking for one, the equivalent is the Meet an Onion Database.
