Wow, Charlee, those hopping feet go for a lot of $! Good for you.
Is it a low shank, high shank, or no shank
Hope I'm doing this right. Haven't posted a picture in a while and have forgotten how!
After I got home yesterday got to wondering about all the accessories I have and what they were. Well not a one of them will work on my machine. The feet slide in and screw down. Don't know how else to explain it. What is it called. Hope this picture thing works.
Charlee, just want you to know my tension thing is now put together the RIGHT way. How the heck was it ever sewing? Will send you a pm.

Margie, you have top clamping attachments! I should have thought about that when we were talking yesterday, and I should have sent one of the rufflers home with you! LOL

Sharon I never tried the bow tie pattern. Cute blocks. I have some of those top clamping attachments for my 1917 Western Electric. I bought a box of Greist attachments after I got the machine, but since it needs rewiring I haven't gotten to try sewing on it yet. I'll get around to it, I guess.
Woah Sharon- that fabric on the bottom left is WILD! I love the look of it with the circles. I don't think I need my second cup of coffee for the day. I could see doing a entire quilt with those fabrics and then calling the quilt the "Mad Physicist and Bow Ties". Are you working on that quilt right now? I would love to see a picture of the finished top. Maybe I could start liking the bow tie pattern.

Monica,
Great name for a quilt!
I finished the quilt and forgot to take a picture of it. (dang it!). Some of the fabrics were salesman's samples that the Timeless Treasures rep gives to the Linus Connection(the group I make quilts for) There were bubbles and lots of other stuff in the collection I got. Its fun to see what I can make with a group of fabrics. I love working with bright,wild fabrics that the other ladies in the group shy away from. )
If you look in my webshots album "Charity Quilts", page 1 you can see some of the other blocks I made for the quilt.

Crud! I keep posting to the photos thread....We need to change the name of that thread if we can, because it shows on my computer as
Vintage Machines... and you can't tell the difference between that and this thread until you open it and then scroll back up to the top....it can get old trying to sort through posts to try to see the photos....
