    Apron made with a 1889 Singer VS2 treadle. I made three aprons with these fabrics as party favors for some of the moms that I knew who love to cook.

    You should give your Singer VS2 a try! You would be surprised at how pretty a straight-stitch it makes. At least, I was surprised with my machine. It produces a beautiful top stitch on both sides of this reversible apron. My only other machine that makes such a beautiful stitch top and bottom is my Singer 201. The aprons were a fun and quick diversion from making quilts. Thanks!

    The only thing I've actually managed to finish in the past year is a nursery set for my youngest granddaughter. Very simple, but fun to make, sewn on my 201K treadle and Davis VF. I call this the "It's Good Enough" quilt--all except for the bumper pad, which is referred to as "Almost (But Not Quite) Good Enough".

    Okay here is my contribution to the thread, all of these were done on a treadle and that is the only type of machines that I will use.

    I only started quilting late last year, but all the quilts I have finished have been on vintage electric machines. I haven't remastered the treadle yet - it's been at least 55 years since I sewed on one. The quilt I'm currently working on is a shared effort by the 301 and a Necchi from the 40s.

    Nice looking quilts, Billy. You seem to like color as much as I do.

    First FMQ Grandson's Navy deployment quilt on the 301 - see how straight she sews

    Daughter's b day pieced on the 301 - SITD on the Elna

    A prayer quilt 1973 is Elna's only quilt - not her forte

    Another daughter's B day all 301 She FMQs so well. The errors are the operator
