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".

Oh Miz Johnny! That is an adorable set! I love the sunflowers and the critters on the mobile.

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

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
