I acquired a Viking 6020 that is all ready to go.... I know quilting will be very difficult without the extension table, but I've looked everywhere on the internet and can't find one. It has to be specific to the 6020. Any ideas on where else to look? Any help will be so very greatly appreciated!!

I finally got to take my Featherweight 221 to a class and 'use' it for more than testing. What a kitten--she sure purrs nice. Since I owned all the fancy machines before buying this one treasured relic I am really surprised at how nice this one sews. Now I can sew before the household is awake!

Mindymoye--I read somewhere and seen the photos of one made of wood then painted and waxed with a hard wax. Owner claimed it worked great. I am sure it would be worth trying if you could, or get someone to make you one. I have a friend whose husband cuts them from 1/4 inch plexiglass for her. Nice if you can get it.

There's nothing like the stitch that a straight stitch only machine will give you. It's simple physics and usually the beginning of vintage sewing machine addiction.

For all you people out east this museum looks like it may be very interesting when it opens.
