You have some great resources on vintage machines here. I did a little looking around and like what I see!
I won a Wheeler and Wilson D-9 at a fabric auction, it was around $50 for the D-9 and so much fabric my storage is struggling.
Then my sister in law insisted I take two more as she cleaned out her garage.
So now I also have a fairly early Davis Rotary badged Victory (no idea the year), and a White FR from around 1915.
I'm also interested in quilting, although it's going to take me some time to have the time for it. I've been saving all my husband's Hawaiian shirts so I have some fun colors to work with in the future.
I also received a Huskystar 224 when we married 13 years ago, so I'm not limited to my vintage machines at all.
I have a lot of fond memories of helping my grandmother finish quilts when I was very little. I would sit under the frame with a circle of older women doing the edges by hand. Some of them would also be poking yarn needles through and my job was to poke them back up.
I have a terrible fabric hoard and really need to make the time to do things with it. The funniest part is I have exactly ONE standard grocery bag of fabric I have purchased from a fabric store. But totes and totes and totes of stuff I want to recycle. And then there are the rolls of fabric I won at auction with the sewing machine... it was an upholstery shop so I was thinking of making bags and purses with a lot of it.
Looking forward to learning!
