Might it be due to the size of the picture? It's 1980 x <something or other> which is substantial. The quilt pic looks to be sized small. Just a guess.

Oh, and the machine is gorgeous - worth every pixel!

Laura,

When I did this quilt cover for my #2 Singer 66 treadle,

I started having puckers and crinkles on the binding so I switched to a walking foot.

Although it doesn't properly fit the feed dogs of the 66 it did help immensely.

Skip, I so happy that you have finally used that Two Spools. They are wonderful machine to use for piecing.
Thanks for posting photos. Enjoy!

Joe- Oh well, just a thought. I'll keep my fingers crossed you find a table. I did notice that they are still sold, such as on Amazon, but imagine they are pricey. Laura

That sounds perfect! I'd like one of those. Congratulations!
