Quiltncowgirl and I are doing a trade....you might remember I have the cabinet that goes to her Singer VS2...my 66 Lotus was sitting in it. I debated with myself for weeks over it, and decided that I could find another cabinet I liked, have her buy it, and then swap so she can have the VS2 cab back. So we're doing that trade. Plus, I found some irons in her area to make a base for my Davis VF to be in so I can treadle my old girl....she's ready...all cleaned up, oiled and ready. So, my DH is going to put a wood top on the irons and custom rout it out to fit. So, that's 2. And with the first treadle base I am swapping with her, I get the bonus of a 1956 Singer 15 (I think!). So....too much to do this weekend. Can't go after the other machine. Too many projects!!
Janice it sounds like you and Sheryl have it all figured out! Those Davis cabinets are really hard to find; and, if you do find one it usually needs lots of work. I think it is great that your DH can make you a top for the Davis! I have bound a bunch of quilts using my Davis Vertical Feed. I love to use that machine, but I am fickle! It is like I tell people when they ask me which horse I love the best - it is the one I am riding at the time! The same thing with my sewing machines - I love them all - but, the one I am using I love the most at the time I am using it! Have a great weekend working on your projects!
