My favorite at the moment is a Japanese clone of a Singer model 15, but in a yummy turquoise with stunning decals. It sews like a dream. <br />I have a dog, Buddy, too, but he is not destructive - mainly because he was already a little over a year old when we got him. He is my dear, dear Buddy! (Mr. Muddling's Lady, in the other hand, is still a chewing machine at four years, but now she restricts her chewing to Nylabones, thank God the quilt and furniture destruction is at an end for her.) <br />I like the newest quilt. Isn't it amazing how a unifying fabric will just bind all those different fabrics together!

Some times we get lucky to find exactly what we want. This was the case for me finding the Singer 1939 Featherweight.

I will think twice now after reading this about the time and mileage to pick up something that the seller may change his mind about. Never thought about it.<br />You got a beauty and I am sure by the looks of that gorgeous quilt that it works like a charm. Worked out for everyone.<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285774814387516190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183416806466219655.post-13832569603488354982017-04-20T14:00:55.229-05:002017-04-20T14:00:55.229-05:00Love those little Featherwieghts.....I have one an...Love those little Featherwieghts.....I have one and yes it is terrific for piecing, really nice for taking to class or workshop too! Looks like you have really given it special attention. I too, bought a different foot pedal as I found the one "button" type uncomfortable to use.<br />Love seeing these vintage machines put to use. They are beautiful and super well made!Quilt Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613123044737490802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183416806466219655.post-83403926446474399782017-04-20T08:44:00.690-05:002017-04-20T08:44:00.690-05:00Hello Linda, It seems that the sellers did not de...Hello Linda, It seems that the sellers did not deal with you honestly, but in the end you got a good machine, and are putting it to good use. I can tell that you enjoyed the process of restoring it--perhaps more satisfying than if you had bought a perfect one (especially considering the prices they apparently go for!). I don't have the vocabulary to comment on your quilting project, other than to say that your craftsmanship is amazing.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183416806466219655.post-59972455388480014962017-04-19T15:41:15.984-05:002017-04-19T15:41:15.984-05:00i don't know how badly you wanted the machine ...i don't know how badly you wanted the machine however i am sure they would have taken 100 or less if you would acted not interested because of the shape it was in some people play the game of my mom or dad ect. was mad because i sold it so cheep. i bought a small frige from a women paid for it in fulland had her sign a reciet she call back said she needed more money for it. sorry i have your your name. nancy in wi 1Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14240019734745614944noreply@blogger.com
