I need to finish converting some of my heads to hand cranks and get boxes for them to sit in. I've only used one of my treadles, the Singer 15 from 1896. I need to mess with the tension on the Singer 27 from 1889. I don't know how old the other treadle is (Free). My only up and working hand crank so far is the SingerCheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188646135690899651.post-83114722010509708222012-01-01T21:58:41.094-07:002012-01-01T21:58:41.094-07:00I have had several tell me to get a vintage machin...I have had several tell me to get a vintage machine for my denim sewing.

I made my first quilt on it (long gone now, but it had a lot of different weight fabrics in it and didn't wash well.)<br /><br />I love vintage sewing machines, and I have eight vintage Singers (my favorite is the 301.) Please let us know what you think of the Necchi after you use it for a while.lwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731797783816953087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188646135690899651.post-4840705579590344192011-12-29T18:32:59.465-07:002011-12-29T18:32:59.465-07:00Wow, it all started with a tv spot, huh?

I paid for a class offered from the man I bought my featherweight from (I think you and I wrote emails about it), and then ended up not getting to be here for the class. I do not have anyone else to approach for the education. Thank you for the share, Dora!<Pokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546013812822816960noreply@blogger.com
