Howdy from Texas
 

Glad to find y'all, looks like I will be spending more time reading right now!
New to quilting but I like collecting and restoring the Vintage machine, could say I have gone overboard 20+ machines
running out of room, so I have to slow down. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/frown.png

Have a GREAT day all!

Howdy back at you from Texas! Glad you joined the boards. There are a lot of vintage machine collectors on this board who will gladly share their love of the machines with you. We love pictures here so I'm looking forward to seeing the things you make.

a warm welcome from KY.

Welcome, waving to you from NE Ohio.

A warm and sunny welcome from Southern California. And with 20 vintage machines, you make me feel better about my stash!

20 machines is a good start. but just that. There is a great sewing machine museum in Tulsa that will be open after the pandemic. bkay Knows a lot about vintage machines and hangs out on that board and is from your fair state.

Welcome from Kansas.

We;come from Minnesota!

Thanks for the warm welcome all!

Welcome from Michigan!:)

Welcome from FL!

Welcome to the QB from SE Michigan. You came to the right place for vintage sewing machines. I have my share but only a few in comparison. I sew with them all the time. For me quilting and vintage machines go hand in hand. Read away and jump right in when you are ready. There is a lot of fun and knowledgeable folks here. We would love your input. Again welcome to the QB!

Welcome from Southern Indiana! Aren't sewing machines funny? They seem to enjoy congregating in one's home...I'm never sure how they manage it! I am housing about a dozen, and I don't even collect them!

Hello Rooster! I was given a modern machine a year or two ago, but prior to that I've mostly been sewing on a machine older than I am (I just turned 60) for the last 30 years.

I know people are really into their Singers (and I love my 301), but I really like the post-war Japanese machines, like my own Remington or Morse is another brand that often has some design sense to it where zig-zag is high tech.

I agree 20 machines is a great start ;-) I love the vintage ones too, hugs from the Sunset Coast!

Welcome to the Quilting Forum from Central Florida. I have a Singer 340 from 1955 and a Kenmore from 1972 and I love them both. The Singer is great for piecing and I use it a lot. I also have a Janome 15000 that i use most of the time for embroidery.
