I have just started this great adventure of "Quilting". I have always sewed and have just retired and so I started quilting. Love it - have always loved completing any kind of puzzles and consider creating a quilt a "giant" puzzle. I have bought one Singer 66-16 ($25 at an estate auction in the cabinet with all the sewing boxes including 40 spools of thread and 2 pairs of pinking shears plus lots more)and my grandmother left me her 66-6. I have just finished cleaning and repairing both with new rubber/belts and oiled/lubricated and they are "purring!!!!!" I am working on my 1st quilt and lovin' every minute of it even the ripping out. My mother is on the hunt for a Featherweight for me. Thank you for all your valuable information on "everything" about quilting.
