I believe Janome makes new treadle machines, with the Amish community in
mind. They might have info on their website.

Try Lehman's, they cater to the Amish.

Yes: there are Chinese made Singer 15 clones, but by all reports for the
Treadle On community, they are not as good as the originals. If you
really want a People Powered machine, try looking for a used one from
pre-1960.

I had a treadle once, a 1923 Singer. Straight stitch only, didn't even
backstitch. I gave it to someone who loved antiques, did a lot of
sewing, and lives on a non-electric farm.

I still love treadles, and I'd love to get one, but I probably shouldn't
since I threatened my husband with dire bodily harm if he brings one
more piece of furniture into our rather crowded little house. *giggle*

Dick Whightman of Treadle On did a review of one. Worth looking up...
