    I love your quilts an i really like your sewing table iI happ to have a golden oldie out in storage because i don't have big enough sewing room to put all my machines in yet.but on of these days if I have to build it myself I will.Needs to be about three times the size it is now.Just because
    of the machines them selves.I have five machines all together Brother
    inoves is ,an a Brother that i bought at walmart,a singer that was my Dear Step moms,an then a Nolting quilting machine that I got 4 1/2years ago.When my dear hubby got his settlement from disabilty.So now I sew
    an take care of him.An when i'm down an out of comossion he takes care of me.

    Thank you for the comments, the Kenmore is the only e-machine I own everything else is all treadle operated. I have a wall unit in my shop that I keep my machines that I have earmarked for use and I just grab what ever one I feel like using at the time.

    The Universal is the go to machine for me and if I want fancy stitches I just get my attachments out for it and I am ready to go for it!

    I really love my model 27 which is a VS machine (vibrating shuttle) it so soothing to listen to it while you sew, it sounds like a fine tuned Model A Ford!! But the only catch is the you cant back tack on it and the bobbins do not hold a lot of thread but I still love the little guy!

    All of my Christmas presents this year will sewn on my 1921 Singer 66 Red Eye. :wink:

    I love the purple one and how the squares aren't perfect squares. It gives it a cool "wonky" effect
