After reading blogs from folks that use vintage machines to quilt on, I purchased not just one but numerous vintage machines that I now use for piecing and quilting. I found that these machines are wonderful to sew with. I have Singer 15-90 in a treadle (my free motion machine), Singer 201 in treadle(my straight stitch machine), and National Two Spools machine (my piecing machine). I do use Janome TB-30 (my daughter's) for the decorative stitch to finish off my bindings. I just love these vintage machines.
