From my understanding Davis also made a machine that was badged "Paragon." I'm not positive, but I think that the Davis made machine had a squarish needle plate and the stitch length regulator was on the pillar. I think the Standard Paragon had a roundish needle plate with the stitch length regulator on the bed, under the bobbin winder.
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a
file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at

Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "
Upload" button.
I have found that only the big red "reply" button works to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.
Additionally, when I have tried to "insert" pictures, it will take a while even if it is just one picture, after clicking on the paperclip icon. (This is after you have hit the "Upload" button and closed that window.) You will see the "busy" icon at the top of the page or tab spinning for a while before it list the pictures that it will attach.
