    It's probably your user name that you don't have just right. Try re-registering and when you put in your e-mail, it will tell you you already have an account with that e-mail, and it will give you an opportunity to find your user name.

    I did end up going through getting my coorect id and tehn resetting the password but what a hassle! Hopefully, won't need to do that again.

    Charlee, my Davis has virtually no decals after I got too keen on cleaning her up. Her decals before I decided to clean her up were pretty gone, but now completely gone. I still love the machine, and actually I think I perfer her nice and shinning and clean instead of gunky feeling with some decals showing through here and there. I hope you get the machine. They are a little harder - I think - to get use to. At least I had a hard time figuring out how to get a decent stitch out of 'Betty.' She is the only machine I have that took me two months to get her to sew. You really have to play with the stitch regulator on that machine. Glenn had the same problems when he was trying to get his Vertical Feed to stitch. I use her all the time now for my bindings, but boy does that machine give me a workout! Mine in the 1886 version, not the New Vertical Feed like Monica has. They may be easier - don't know?

    Better hurry on this one ...... someone is already on it!!!

    :roll:
    Isn't that the cutest little thing? To me this would be more valuable simply because I've never in my life seen a machine styled like this.
    I think so too! I thought to post it on here, but now that I know it is, I thought I'd post a picture because, reading the past pages, I would have liked to see what you all were talking about.

    I'm not sure on this one, the guy told me that he thinks it's early 1900's, it's in a coffintop treadle with the Davis decal on the top. The cabinet looks complete, albeit in rough shape. The bonus part would be that they know the history of the machine...it's coming from his mother in law's home, she's 87, and it belonged to her ....great grandmother or her grandmother...not sure which!
