Vintage Motif, I love that quilt. Very pretty. Is that a darning foot for a vintage machine? Do they all look that way? That's a pretty neat foot.

Here is a video of a Davis NVF machine (one like mine) in action.

Notice that the machine doesn't have feed dogs and that the foot moves the fabric.
These machines are awesome to quilt with and attach bindings. And the machine handles quilting flannel without any problems.
I own two of these machines. The difference in the two machines is the tension area. They take standard needles.

And a close up of the foot.

I want a DVF baaaaaad!
I watched the video; the needle moves the fabric not the foot.
I am going to work on a new way to put on bindings with a binding folder. As any one tried it?

All quilting is done on my Davis NVF.

I am so excited. This is why I love this board. The problem is not with my thread, which makes me happy since it was my first big spool purchase. I changed the needle AGAIN. I had the last one in correctly, but apparently it had a burr thingy in it. Needles were pretty expensive, so I hate losing one right off the bat, but I'm glad the problem is gone. I even did some stitching on the actual quilt and have had great success! WooHoo! I am back in business!
