I sew exclusively on vintage machines, and they are just SO much fun. They are so much better built than the newer plastic machines. I also love the historical aspect of them, too. Every one I own sews beautifully, and I'm now using an 85-year-old hand crank that I stripped the paint off (paint was all chipped) and re-painted cool blue to do some paper piecing in front of the TV at night. SEW much fun!

Trina,
I looked through your webshot album and your collection is beautiful. You have a wealth of information there, and your tutorial and painting a vintage machine is very helpful. You also have a wonderful sewing room for all your vintage machines.
