My bedroom. Sounds silly, but the only thing in my bedroom that's not sewing dedicated is my bed itself. It shares the space with a 6x4' cutting table, Singer 201 in a cabinet, my Bernina minimatic, ...

The 15-22 (like the 15-1/Improved Family) uses a long beak shuttle, which is a different mechanism to the ones on the later 15s. It's interesting because they (being the 15-1 and 15-22) are mostly...

Any other 15-22 owners here?

I'm just curious how many people around here have Singer 15-22s. I've not seen them mentioned a lot, and wanted to see some love for a particularly cool model! :)

Vintage Berninas, snap-on/low shank adaptors, and walking feet.

Having gotten my Bernina 707 Minimatic back up and running (broken needle clamp from an overzealous previous owner), I'm curious as to whether anyone's had any success using a low shank, or snap-on...

I haven't done anything larger than a king single yet, but I'd argue that it's worth the extra effort in quilting for a 201. Mine's got about 8" of throat, and I know lots of quilters irl who quilt...

For those with industrial machines: feed dog covers?

I've got a Singer 195K1 sitting in storage at the moment, and I'd love to bring it home to use it.
My main problem with it is that it'll take the spot currently occupied by my 201K, and it's...

Thanks quiltedsunshine! I'm very excited to use it. A larger table space is definitely useful, since it's only got the smaller table and I won't be able to realistically have a consistent workspace...

If I'm being honest, I do have some decent modern machines with free-arms and more stitches than necessary, but there's something about the older machines (especially the 201s, and the portables) and...

Picked up a Bernina 707; any tips on quilting with it?

Bought a minimatic 707 this morning on Ebay! I've already got two Singer 201Ks (aluminium bodies) and a 222K (maybe three 99Ks, and a few more too), but I've justified it by saying that I need the...
