They, Davis VF, need to be rescued and used- along with other fantastic vintage ladies and gents.
Well folks, I saw this on out CL:
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/atq/2729752864.html, and got excited hoping it could be the one I'm looking for. I finally called since he's not responding to email. It has a long bobbin. At first he said it does have the feed dogs, but looked at it while I was talking to him and realized it doesn't.
He said he's not real technical and can't send or post any pictures. I told him I'd have to find out from my friends what else I need to ask to figure out if this is what I'm looking for. It's about 80 miles away from me, and I'd have to figure out how to get it home.
Is the fact that it has no feed dogs, a long bobbin and is a Davis make it what I'm looking for?
Thank you!
