Oh my gosh CD, my leg would be so sore doing that with a treadle! I am finishing up a denim quilt but using my electric - Necchi Supernova. That machine is way strong but I still took the time to walk it by hand over the heaviest seams.

I finished the denim quilt last night so here is the pic, then worked on my Singer 306W for awhile. It had a dime sized area of missing paint near the needle plate so I toughed up the paint and may have gotton carried away with the touch ups. I hope it doesn't look polka dot when I go out to take a look this morning.

A polka dot 306 might be kind of classy!

LOL! It doesn't look polka dot after all. Polka dots on quilts are ok, on sewing machines? Ummm maybe not so much! The small patched area shows but doesn't stand out like a sore thumb and at least the bed is now protected from corrosion.

I think you did a pretty darned good job of patching that missing paint. It looks much better. Quilt looks good too.

Great job on both the quilt and the patch.
