Here is information and pictures of the many Vertical Feeds that were made over the years. I own two Davis New Vertical Feeds (NVF), the very last one at the bottom of the page.

Very cool machine to play with! Great for quilting and sewing on the binding. The only Davis that takes standard needles, 15 x1, is the Davis NVF.
Trish's cabinet is gorgeous!!! Trish do you already own a Davis Vertical Feed or is this your first?
That is so cool... I had no idea those had no feed dogs. Always wondered what was meant by "vertical feed". Thanks for the video. :D
