Figured I should at least add my name here. I sew some, trying to do more. I started out repairing seat covers and canvas tops for my millitary vehicles ( another collection all together ) and progressed into back packs and stuff sacks and then in to 19th century american fur trade era type articles for historic trekking. I have my grandmothers old white rotrty in a treadle stand, and collected two more one with cabinet one without, was given a build date 1900 singer 27 sphinx decal in cabinet and have purchased 4 or 5 singer 128 godzilla's also managed a floral 128 and a couple of 99's and am looking to add a necchi or a pfaff as my every day machine... currently am using a black 306w oh also snuck in a 301 and various plastic wonders somewhere along the way. have MOST of a pair of Consew industrials a 206 and a 225 and one weird old singer industrial treadle ( I think a 103 ) here is the most recently completed sewing task of mine ( all done with the 306w in the treadle base )

You didn't mention the picture. Presumably you made the dress, and possibly the child too?

I sew mainly clothes but occasionally automotive upholstery (would be more frequent if it wasn't so difficult on a 96K).
Here's my little one in her new jacket (sewn on one of my 201Ks):

Great job to both of you!
Glenn: This thread wasn't somehow related to the quilt you and the guys sent me was it?

Glenn

I suspected that was what it was for too.... I giggled a little when Miriam said that you were getting a quilt together and then you weren't.

Glenn

Tammi it is really hard to keep a secret on this board. We do have fun.

Yep.

Machines:

Singer 319K with updated bobbin case to use 15x1 needles. Favorite machine:



(that's an internet pic, not one of my actual machine). Purchased from a collector for 150 bucks (IIRC). Original Singer cabinet, all the fashion discs (in original case), needles, several plates, darning plate, ruffler, piping feet, button holer, roller pressers, spare parts, etc etc etc. Came with just about every option you could get for it back in 57. It even came with an ultra rare 206x13 twin needle, which I won't use for fear of breaking such and old and rare item.

White 585. My second favorite:



It's just so smooth and quiet. Rotary hook like the 319K. Colors are "easy on the eyes" for longer periods too.

Singer 331K105 "walking foot". Servo Motor conversion. For leather, vinyl and heavy materials like straps, belts etc:



Straight stitch, no reverse. Modified for large stitch lengths for sewing leather car upholstery. But when you want heavy work done, this is the machine I go to if I want to get it done on the first try.

Kenmore 158:



Big brute. needs a restoration as it's gummed up. Moves, but stiff.

Kenmore 247:



currently not used, picked up because it was there and cheap.

Con't in next post due to picture limits

Singer 328:



Fairly crude machine overall. Currently a project, may never be finished.

Kenmore ultra stitch 12:



This one gets used the most. Portable, reliable, free arm and just generally pleasant to use where ever I plunk it down.

And a Serger:



three thread converted to a 4 thread.


That's about it. I have to fight the urge to buy more every time I walk through good will.

Most of my sewing is simple repairs to clothing or sewing up textiles like leather car seats, straps, belts, etc.....

great white

Correction to previous post; It's a Singer 327, not 328.
