ok, all this talk of machines.. :mrgreen:

here's some of my oldies but goodies...
15-90 - my DH is using this to make his first quilt!

185J - found this in an antique store - the thing weighs a TON - you wouldn't think so because it's small (the follow up to a 99)

301 - my beige 301, I also have a black short bed.. I LOVE these machines - that's why I have two! I do all my piecing on the 301s. And they are FABULOUS for stippling/meandering.

Those are awesome!

The last one looks a lot like the one my mom had which my sister has now.

THe second one looks like a machine someone gave me it is a Vogle(?). Same as the pattern company.

oh YUMMY!!! Those are all great!!!

I have a great 1957 Featherweight 221-sews like a dream... and my daughter has a 1928 Singer. We love old too!!

I love your machines. I would like to collect them but I'm afraid my dh would have a heart attack. My little quilting hobby is already costing him a small fortune. :roll:

The first one looks very similiar to the one my mother had for years and years, the one she taught me to sew on!

Beautiful!

Wow ~ you have quite a collection going.

I think the old machines are beautiful. My MIL had a great looking one..maybe I'll just "snatch" it from my niece when she isn't looking...Think that would work?? :mrgreen:

The green one looks very similar to one I have buried in the garage that my mother gave me back in the 70's. I haven't seen it since moving here in '94 but from what I remember. I asked her about it last week too, I thought she bought it when I was born in 1960 but she thinks that she got it before I was born and it was 3 or 4 years old at the time. Now....where is that box....

:D :D :D what a great collection....You do have real horses.....I would love to have one of this old machines :lol:

some dandies there....My Mom has the green one...grew up using it....it needs a good cleaning cause it's been in storage and has gotten rusty....

I love them all!!!! I can see how you can really get the bug and want to collect more!

NICE I remember the green one my mom had one.
