The Colorado Antique Sewing Machine Enthusiasts met again today at Perkins in Denver.
Courtney brought a 221 Featherweight to show, which appeared to be in very nice condition. He also made each of us a thread spool holder, which assists with feeding from larger spools. It sits on the spool pin and alows the thread to pull upwards, allowing for better feed. Very clever.
Diane brought a tiny Bing sewing machine, believed to have been made in Belgium. The top and bottom mechanisms are coupled with a chain. Really cute and does a chain stitch (not to be confused with the chain drive).
Cheryl brought her husband Chris to the group, along with a beige Singer 20, complete with hard shell case and instruction manual. Also a chain stitcher.
Janey and I shared pictures of our workstand with Cheryl and Chris, who being our newest members had not yet seen it..
A picture of the three machines that entertained us is shown below.

With people now back from their summer sojourns, we plan to meet again next month.
