I do like FM with my Singer 15-90 in treadle. At present, it is in a treadle in back corner of my "command center" with cutting mats on top of it and other junk. I didn't feel like pulling her out yesterday; so, I gave the Davis a go. I was very surprised at the FM from the Davis machine. The technique and feel of FM quilting with the Davis is different from the Singer 15s.
