Homemade Midarm Machine
2 Attachment(s)
I was posting this in response to someone who wanted a longarm but couldn't afford and was thinking about a midarm. I couldn't really afford the midarm either, so I made my own. I've made 7 or 8 quilts on it so far and it works like a charm. It is an old darning machine - they don't have feed dogs. I made a piece out of plexiglass so that I had a base to sew on and that is it. Cost me nothing. I was given the old darning machine and the plexiglass fell out from behind a cabinet in the garage when I was pondering how I was going to make this work. :)

Amazing! :thumbup:

I agree with Jan, Amazing!!
|
Well done! Necessity is the mother of invention!
|
I wonder how much it would cost to buy one.

If you had one that had feed dogs you could always take them off, simple matter of taking out two screws. I did that to a Janome 1600p that I have on a frame. The feed dogs kept packing with lint, now I brush out the area every time I change bobbins and works like a charm.
