First off, your header is beautiful - what a striking arrangement of photos. As for your question...I have 16 sewing machines,including 4 Featherweights. (it almost sounds like a confession to say that!!) The older machines are so beautiful its hard to resist when you see one needing a home. I like Gail's comment about a straight stitch being a straight stitch - it's so true, and that's mostly all we need, isn't it?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846061000617561497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967923947576216828.post-80901124127136483622013-02-07T18:19:51.285-04:002013-02-07T18:19:51.285-04:00What a beauty, Linda.

Wish it was still like that.<br /><br />I have 2 machines... a 90's kenmore that will not ever keep a proper tension but the bobbin winder still works... and a heavy 60's vintage White that sews perfectly but the bobbin winder is all wonky. I'm sort of stuck with both for the time being.Gwen Buchananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13410235558740636534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967923947576216828.post-28511572415413627492013-02-06T13:04:03.202-04:002013-02-06T13:04:03.202-04:00She really is beautiful!

I must take a closer look at it.Pamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967923947576216828.post-6468527829350221602013-02-05T20:48:02.893-04:002013-02-05T20:48:02.893-04:00Great post , love the machine , I love antique sew...Great post , love the machine , I love antique sewing machines , I have several mostly for display but some could work if I wanted them to .

Do sergers (2) and the longarm count as well?<br /><br />I have 9 machines!! My daily workers are a Husquvarna Mega Quilter (amazing stitch), and the Husquvarna 775 (I also have a 770). I have a heavy duty commercial machine, an Elna, Singer Featherweight, a totally worn out Morse (high school grad gift), my mother's Kenmore in a beautiful cherry cabinet and my maternal grandmother's treadle Singer in the original cabinet, with all the accessories.

Man how the machines have changed, yet, a straight stitch is still a straight stitch.<br /><br />I have four machines too. They all work. I use 3 of them regularly. The little featherweight is in perfect working order, but I don't use it regularly. I wish I did. GailM.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08421904793462089719noreply@blogger.com
