Is that a Singer Featherweight sewing machine on your shelf?

No Carol, I wish I had a Featherweight, but I don't. The machine on the left is a hand crank model, but I have never found a brand name on it. the one in the middle is a Homestead brand and the tan colored Singer on the right belonged to my grandmother that taught me quilting & crocheting.

Your sewing room looks great!!

By the way I would love to have you all come PLAY in my studio....wouldn't that be a hoot. My best quilting friend and I always spend lots of time in here when she visits,~~ a glass of wine, a bunch of new quilt magazines or new quilt books and we can spend hours playing, laughing, matching fabric to patterns and of course laughing some more.

Oh wow. That looks like a dream come true. Wonderful designing and wonderful work.

Jaynie, is that tan Singer a 301 or a 401? My mother still sews on her 301 and my daughter has my 401. All they do is straight stitch, and has a reverse stitch. They used attachments for buttonholes. I bought my 401 in 1962. She probably bought her 301 in '55 or '56.

A great job in your design. I like it!

So want to play? I'll be there in the morning...

I have a 401A, mine will do all kinds of decorative stitches...I have made a few quilts on it. Love your studio :D

Gail,
The Singer is a 503A model. It has the interchangable cams that go in the top for decorative stitches. My Nannie used this machine for many years, but on the rare occasion that it had to go to the shop she would still use her treadle....she sewed for the public. I didn't get the treadle, but my cousin nearby did, so I can visit it.
