The Official
TreadleOn Block Exchange Summary

What is a TOBE?
A Treadle On Block Exchange. It's purpose is to encourage you to use your people powered (PP) machines, therefore all TOBE blocks must be made on either a handcrank or treadle sewing machine. You make a set of blocks according to the TOBE specs, send them to the hostess, who swaps all the blocks to other onions. You get the same number of blocks back that you sent in, from lots of different people. You do not have to be on list to participate, so if you have friends who are interested, invite them to join us.
