You will absolutely love her for piecing. She won't "eat" the fabric in her feed dogs. Since I got my first one, 8 yrs ago, they are all I use for quilting. I regularly free hand quilt with them also. Don't need to drop the feed dogs. Just loosen the tension on the presser foot.

Yes, they are lovely little machines! When I bought my first one in 1994 at Paducah Kentucky while there for the quilt show, I have been completely hooked! So, when I needed repair parts that were hard to find, I started a business in 1997 repairing them and selling parts. Really happy showing others how to repair and clean their little beauties!

What a beauty! One of those is still on my bucket list. I tell people it's the type of machine your grandmother had in the bottom of her closet. I'm still looking.

Beautiful :)

Congrats and welcome to the fw club!

congrats, she's a beauty. I finally used mine after having it for 3 yrs. things got in the way.
I love how smooth and straight and quiet they are. Have fun! Do you know what year she is? |
The cases for my 221's are in pretty good shape but they stink really badly so I went to WalMart and got a Rubbermaid opaque container and the green top had a handle on it. I have plenty of room in it for all the goodies and the foot pedal. I keep one in my RV so I don't really care what kind of case it's in so it is Rubbermaid.
