    I use my treadles: piecing, National Two Spools or Singer 201; straight stitch quilting, 201; and FM a 15-90. I finish off my bindings with a decorative stitch from Janome TB-30. I own other vintage machines, but they just decorate my sewing room bookshelves.

    What sewing machines do you own and like to use? You haven't told us what you like.

    I have an antique Singer Featherweight, a Babylock Ellure Plus which I use for embroidery, and a Babylock Espire which I use for piecing. Being down since Oct. 20 with a broke leg, I used the Featherweight to make the shop sample of Wildflower Rhapsody. I could get my leg which was straight out while in my wheelchair under the featherweight table. I would not trade for either machine. Oh yes, I also have a 201 "big sister" featherweight.
