(Don't know about the current line of Berninas.)<BR/><BR/>The problem with having several machines is that it's sometimes hard to give all of them a chance to be used.

She's probably lonely, or calling for whoever she remembers at the vets. She'll get better, but give her lots of belly rubs. Noodle loves to go into the bathroom, sit on the back of the tank and "talk" at the top of his lungs at the cat in the mirror. They also talk to each other as a way to get the other to come and play. Pixel is my whiney baby and cries constantly for attention and petts.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully she will relax and get more acclimated. I'm so happy you rescued her!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059454522337423829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-73955697740831042352008-05-19T11:16:00.000-04:002008-05-19T11:16:00.000-04:00Beautiful!

A friend bought here daughter a new beginner machine and it was terrible to try and teach her to sew on it. I ended up pulling out one of my vintage machines (which sewed through the decorator fabric with no problem what-sew-ever!) When her Dad showed up to driver her home she brought him in to see the old machine and told him "I want one of those for my next machine."

I sold my Featherweights as they actually are quite heavy when they are in their little black storage boxes. So the only time they are lightweight is when they are out being used. I really like your new Singer 404. Could you please tell me more about your wood extension table? Glad you had a wonderful time on your trip. Good to have you home.

I love and miss mine dearly! They are all still packed and waiting for us to finish our move. My favorite is a 1920's Singer 15 class with Tiffany decals in a treadle stand that I use as my main machine. There is just something relaxing about sewing on a treadle. Not only does she sew a beautiful straight stitch - she can machine quilt like nobody's business. When I was teaching machine quilting at the quilt shop I made my samples on her. That way I could tell the ladies that if I could do this on a treadle they could do it on their modern machines - and they didn't need anything fancy or fast. I found a vintage Singer 66 machine (with Red Eye decal) for my sister who uses it as her main machine - also in a treadle base. I am just a little addicted to vintage machines!

It'll also travel nicer than my Bernina, as it's lighter.<BR/><BR/>But I still love my Bernina for it's knee-lift. It also has all the toys I need to free-motion quilts. Can't have it all! ;) But the Singer makes a great piecing machine. The all metal parts make me really happy too.Leah Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16063458621042037769noreply@blogger.com
