How about one more for the road?
This is my FREE SEWING MACHINE CO. machine. One the arm it's marked: The FREE and under that LONG BOBBIN ROTARY. She was made in Rockford, ILL way back when .... the USA really had a heart.

Here she is with her bent wood case and accessories.

Here she is in action piecing a quilt part.
I have a complete set of accessory feet for her, but no button holler. Unlike other top clamp machines you can't unscrew the clamp on this one to clamp the button holler to the presser foot shaft. You have to have a button holler with the two forks like the feet.
I have one for a New Home, but it won't fit.
It is the quietest VS machine I own. Very little vibration and noise. Maybe cos it weighs so much.
Some one once asked me: "How can it be a LONG BOBBIN ROTARY? The two are mutually exclusive. I can't answer that question. Can anyone here?
