- It's been 3 months since my last video. I wanted to share my plans for the channel in the near future, and I fixed up my antique White Rotary treadle machine for use on an upcoming project!

Not the easiest recipe to pull of but you do it well :)
Enthusiastically waiting for all the oncoming escapades 😊
That's quite the Venn diagram! Thank you! 😃
Glad to see you again! For subject matter, do what makes you happy/that you enjoy. As your enthusiasm for any particular project comes through and can be contagious.
Thank you! I'm glad to be here 😃
Mystery craft videos sound wonderful. It *all* sounds goood!!
I just hope I can deliver 😉
Beautiful Lady! I have missed you! I am here for whatever craft chaos you throw out here.
Thank you! 💕
As the immortal Freddie Mercury once said "I want it all!" Go for it Maire. I'll watch your channel, no matter what. I love your tatting and knitting. New granny squares are always fun too!
Aw, thanks...I look forward to finding new ways to film old crafts! 😁
i have a project that i started about 3 years ago and haven't touched in about 1.5 years...lol! i feel the need to see an older project finished! happy to see your face again! signed up for your Patreon! 😁
Welcome to the Craft Coven (for lack of a better term). I've found the pieces for the work-in-progress...now to see if I cut out the right ones 😂
@@MaireColclough ooooh! "Craft Coven"!!! love it!!!!
Cozy mystery crochet is a brilliant idea!
It seems like the only thing we like more than a mystery pattern is a mystery pattern that ends in disaster. Hopefully that takes some pressure off - an amusing train wreck is just as satisfying as a lovely finished object.
Train wrecks *are* a speciality 😉
Glad to see you again! It’s good you’re doing well and good luck with all the changes! I’m here for whatever crafty stuff you decide to share with us. I either learn something new and try it out or I have a calming video to watch while working on a craft myself. 🖤
Thank you so much! Now I just have to stop procrastinating on the actual sewing 😅
Would love any and all fibre craft content
We are here for it all. Get it girl. Enjoy.
Will do! 😃
Oooo. I didn't know there was more than 1 type of granny squares
Yeah! I am all for more content
I have twice owned a singer treadle machine, one of them a parlor model, and had to give each of them up for two expensive cross country moves (the piano and the 1929 gas cook stove went, too) and I am still missing them! I'm so happy for you that you have yours now!
I'm crying on the inside for your Singers and piano. The Husbeast probably felt a ripple in the force at the mention of your stove. I hope you find more treasures that spark joy and maybe not take their place, but bring you contentment 😃
Glad you are back! Really like the variety. You do you! If you have fun, we will have fun watching. Thanks
All of the ideas you had sounnd good. I'd love to see some tatting and bobbin lace, along with your other quicker crafts! New granny squares sounds fine, too. Cool! Hugs
I'm already getting things set up for the mystery videos 😉
Oooo...I am purely green with envy. It is so lovely. Happy sewing! (good to see you again, too)
Thank you! 😊
All of the ideas/plans you mentioned sound great! Looking forward to the granny square book tour. 😊
So happy you're back! Whatever floats your boat is just peachy with me. Do what makes you happy just dont be like me and forget to film it. 😉😅
Forgetting to film is definitely something that happens often around here... 😬
Welcome back. I understand completely how phone work will burn a body out. Especially if there are quotas. And I also understand looking at a YT channel as an alternate 'return to work' plan. I've been in the early stages of plotting such a thing myself. If you ever want to talk/plot-out strategy... The crafting sounds like a good place to start from.
You're machine is unbelievable. Just gorgeous; well done Granny and any other family involved in the investment. Have fun creating with her. The presser feet is a rabbit hole to happily fall down (they usefully de-math allot of the sewing process).
I've found that using sewing machine oil on screws is a useful way to clean them up for easier operation.
- Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
This machine was entirely my Mother-in-Law, as far as I know. To say I'm thankful is an understatement 😃
I will take the machine oil tip and run with it! I need to do a full cleanup as the case is dusty-dirty and someone was smoking around it, so it needs a good clean & polish (I hear machine oil is also good for the latter). Wish me luck!
As a craft hey! squirrel! kind of person, anything you do is fine by me. Even knitting, which even my grandmother's patience couldn't teach me😊. Tatting videos make me nostalgic. Mom learned how back in the 80s, with the help of a kindly old lady she knew. Sigh. I miss the swearing.
🤣 The swearing is real 😁
Tatting? Say what?! Yays please, very much! I've tried to teach myself several times but never get past the very basics.
And granny square variations? Yes! And...? Yes! All of it.
It's so good to have you back. Looking foward to everything you care to do, show, demonstrate, intro, try or are interested in.
Tatting is all practice. And watching how the hands move. It took me a few attempts to get it right and now it's...um...it's an addiction. I mean, if you REALLY want to be sitting on Amazon buying thread at 3am because someone just restocked the Golo and Handy Hands...I think I can help you out. 😅
@@MaireColclough I can think of worse things to be doing at 3am!
It's lovely that you are back, I have missed your videos, but life and figuring stuff out takes priority, I'm just glad that you are back.
Dear Maire, I'm not sure how I missed this video, as I have rewatched many of yours multiple times. Sorry to hear about your work/life-induced anxiety, but I think UA-cam is a great place for self-employment, so I hope it works out for you. I enjoy all the different crafts you show, & best of all is your dry wit! I'll be watching whatever you fancy to show. Best wishes from Czechia.
Thank you! Fingers crossed this works, eh? 💕
Gorgeous machine!! Whatever videos you want to put up Maire, will be worth watching 😘.
Thank you so much! 😃
I like your humorous diatribes too 😂
Its been a while. Ironically i was just thinking about you the ither day. I was thinking that I hadn't had a good dose if snark in a while, but lots if attitude from the teenagers. I'm always down for more content. Crafting, sewing, or otherwise. I would love to see some basic how to videos, it might be helpful in picking up a few things. Right now i'm just trying to keep cool. Imagine no AC in the middle of the blistering Arizona summer and that is where i am at. Its too hot to do anything right now. I did however funally bite the bullet and pull apart my shawl i was working on to the point where i had somehow gotten two extra doubles on each end and fix it and even had a little thread left over before i started the next section in the next color. I've mostly been wirking in it in the evenings when the temoeratures drop below 100. Its supposed to be 114 in a couple days. Its days like that that i wish i had a nice cool finished basement to hang out in. Oh well at least we have the pool and a swamp cooler to help keep cool and make it tolerable to sleep at night. Anyhoo looking to seeing more of you more often. 😊
Canada is pretty warm right now as well...and no AC here either. We'll both have to just keep hydrated 😅
Oooooh, i'm totally onboard for watching some lace-making! It's nice to see you back, and best wishes for this career transition!
Thank you so much! 😃
I really enjoy mystery tat-alongs. Looking forward to your next video!
Ohh, full time, I'm excited... So glad you can prioritize you and not work a job that makes you not the best you. I hope we get your subs up so your more visible. :) I'm here for all the changes, viedos, and mostly your snarky attitude, I find your videos so refreshing and fun. Also, that cabinet made me sigh... so pretty.
I always enjoy your videos…regardless of the topic. If you don’t follow Vintage Sewing Machine Garage on UA-cam he is worth a look. After watching him I tackled my first antique singer hand crank….brought her from the brink of the scrap pile to a fine shiny machine. I just finished overhauling a 1980 Juki industrial walking foot…a game changer for sewing bags. I hope to see more content from you soon!! Take Care!
I’m really glad to see you! I had been wondering if all was well.
I have always enjoyed your videos no matter the topic. So I’m game no matter what you want to do. I seem to a love of all crafts. Though I have told myself no more new crafts that require stuff. You might notice the loop hole… if I have most of the stuff and a base knowledge it’s not really new! Or that’s what I tell myself as I look for rings so I can try making buttons. So yeah have fun!!
But at least you're MAKING the buttons, rather than BUYING buttons... 😉
@@MaireColclough I have inherited 3 button collections plus bought a couple more. I should never ever run out of buttons. Thinking of all those buttons I wonder if finding sets of buttons can be a fun summer game for the kid? I sorta doubt it but I will try it anyway!
Yay, glad to see you around, I was a little worried. I hope the youtuber life treats you well if you're taking that path.
What a beautiful machine... and I love to watch and listen to your videos☀️
Thank you! 💕
Welcome back! Happy to see you, and I'd love mystery handicrafts ❤
I'm so excited you will be doing UA-cam full time! I've missed your videos. Hugs from the USA 😊❤😊
Well, I'll definitely be giving it a good try! 😃
@Stringchronicity, you will be amazing as always. I just know it. I'm looking forward to your crafting videos too.
I love a good mystery.
I have some beading projects planned out and all the beads grouped together but just haven’t got to them. I think some are over two years old that I haven’t put together. 😂
A beautiful old machine. Do you know what year it was made? I have always enjoyed your channel and I'm looking forward to more. I would love to learn how to Tat. Best of luck on your new endeavor.
According to the serial number, the machine was made somewhere between 1910 and 1920. She's definitely a beauty!
And I definitely recommend tatting. It's really easy to tuck into a handbag in case you get bored in line at the shop or need something to do with your hands when visiting friends 😉
OMGOSH! I have a White treadle machine and couldn’t find a plain tutorial on how to thread it! I’ll look to see if they have the exact same design but it looked like it!
Yay! You fixed the thing! I'm looking forward to your future content, it sounds great.
I fixed the thing! Now I have to figure out how to clean it because wow there's a lot of dust inside the case! (no spiders, thankfully)
Glad to see you back on the tube and I am excited by the potential variety of content to come.
Thank you! 💕
You are back! I love the sewing machine!!!
Thank you! I like the machine too 😃
Thank you for the update! I'm sorry your job gave you so much stress, but I'm very glad that you will be making more videos. Please post on whatever schedule works for you!
Since your last video I've taken up tatting! I was working on a medallion while watching! I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on it, not necessarily a tutorial, more of a 'here's what I like/do and what I avoid' type thingy. The tat-along sounds fun!
I hope you are doing ok with all the smoke and the fires. 💜
a tatting tutorial would be awesome. ive been trying to learn for ages but havent been able to figure it out.
All of the positive awesomeness on your new endeavor! I don't know if you have thought about this but some crafty ladies I watch (Cocktail Hour at the Coup) have a Patreon tier that includes a book club. Maybe you could do a play on Cozy Mystery Crafting by including a cozy crafting mystery book club in your tiers. :) Beautiful machine. Makes nifty noises. Glad you got it working.
Book Club! Not a bad idea (I was actually thinking about that, but we'll see...It's a toss-up between burning a hole in my library card and going into hock with Audible) 😂
@@MaireColclough Library, all the way ;)
So happy to see you again! 😊
Thank you! 💕
Welcome back! I've missed watching your videos and was excited to see this one pop up 😊
I come from a long line of multi-crafters so I'm here for anything you choose to create. I have a soft spot for hand made lace as both my mum and granny made bobbin lace
I love my White VS.
They're nice machines!
The older VS unfortunately doesn't take standard needles. There's a close match but round shank instead of half round. They stitch fine but are too far left for most of the attachments.
Please, do the cozy mystery granny squares and the tutorial videos on Tatting and knitting. I don't know how to do either.😊😊😊
I warn you, there may be multiple Agatha Christie references 😉
@@MaireColclough I am down for that. I love Miss Marple and Peroit (sp)
Hello you. Good luck with your new set of plans. I'll be here for whatever you wish to post. I love the sewing machine. Goes down so compact when not in use. Beautiful. Catch you soon. (and I hope that the heat doesn't kick your butt like it's kicking mine today)
It was extremely toasty today. You just concentrate on keeping cool!!
@@MaireColclough I hope you enjoy thunderstorms. They are forecasting another for today
@@canucknancy4257 We've armoured the house against hail and the local wildlife can use all the rain. Nothing sadder than geese and ducks in dry retaining ponds!
@@MaireColclough That's true. I must be a duck as I prefer the cloudy, rainy, cooler weather myself. We planted a clover/grass mix as our front yard and the rain is making it into such a lush little forest that the local rabbits are enjoying immensly.
i have a white rotaty machine as well, thougb its from the 1920s. a little scared to plug it in for fear of an electrical fire or other such disaster!
I also have a motorized White-Rotary from that era. It's...a display piece. No plugging it in until a qualified repair person's worked on it!
glad to have you back. i should be starting a bit of live streaming and videos on my fiber channel. i am finally out of the tense place i was living. i have 3 sewing machines none are treadle ones, one brother who works fine but needs a tune up, a 70s paff complete but it really needs a tune up, and an imperial also in need of some tlc. i dont have the skills to do this my self.
Sounds like you have your work cut out for you... 🤔
@@MaireColclough that and its my 4th year at auarts.
Granny squares would be cool.
They've been staging a comeback recently, and I'm not sure whether I'm amused or horrified to be honest... 😂
@@MaireColclough Sounds like my mom in the 90s when I told her I wanted to wear clogs😆
oooo lovely , I have a similar White Rotary, But have yet to use it. Does it take standard 15 X 1 needles?
I believe I picked up a bulk box of universal needles, and they're doing the job! 🙂
Thank you @@MaireColclough
