my short bed is in a cabinet so i kept that one. i thought about keeping both but.... the 301a long bed has found a good home.
i am the person who didn't want to accumulate a lot of machines, but to use what i have. i am increasingly finding that there are more vintage machines that continue to call my name and i want them.
i got the 1st 301a because i saw on this board how good machines they were to quilt with, i got the 15-91's because of this board and i just love them, i got the 2nd 301a because it told me to buy it so what was i to do and now there is a 306w calling my name along with a 1970ish(i think) bullet shaped kenmore.
i just do not have the space right now to collect machines as i need to live in some of the space. while i am learning quite a bit from you all, i also think that there is some influence going on here. pretty soon i may be thinking about bringing a treadle home and sitting my bed on the back porch so the treadle will have some room.
