This blog gets the most hits from Google searches on “New Williams (treadle) sewing machine,” and people who read my post about my New Williams often request the PDF file of the scan I made of the instruction booklet that came with my machine, so here it is:

I just bought a New Williams sewing machine from an antique store and was thrilled to find your instruction book. Thank you. My other antique machines are Singers and this one looks very different. I’m quite sure I would never have figured out the operation on my own.
I just purchased a New Williams treadle. When it arrived, I discovered that it had been “gutted”. No parts on the underside. I have been going crazy trying to find parts to rescue this beauty. I am heartbroken. She is really in very good cosmetic shape. If anyone out there can help, with advice, direction, parts, or an old junker that I can salvage it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
