I always said this one is my favorite machine ever.....
I have always sworn that the singer 15 is my favorite machine ever, so much so in fact I have two. Just love them. However, been sewing on my little green Lucy, I just bought last month,she is a little 99k and oh what a beauty. she is my favorite now. so My dh asked me if I sew on the 301's that i bought last year? gee, haven't really touched them,so I got one out and wow I can't stop sewing.! this is my favorite! Now, they are all my favorite!!!! Just love the vintage machines!

Yep, you understand it. It is fun, so relaxing! I am so addicted. I have an old treadle too and I keep telling myself I don't want a featherweight. I think if the right one came my way I might be tempted and then I would have another favorite! A tangle web I tell ya.

I'm the same way:>

I can't pick a favorite. How can anyone pick a favorite? It's like asking me which of my kids is my favorite. They are all different and I love them for their individual uniqueness..... All the machines are unique in their own way, too. They are all my favorite!!

The 15's are great machines, and I also agree with BoJangles...lol.
|
Oh my, do I understand! I am just bonkers over FWs and then I sew on one of my others-----so many machines, so little time.
|
LOLOL! My favorite is whichever I happen to be using. They are like my babies and I certainly couldn't pick which one of them I loved more!!!!

My current favorite is the Pfaff 60 treadle straight stitch, its a lovely machine. So quiet and smooth running. Next year it might be the Singers 15-90,201,237 or 66-1. I also have Singers 221 and 301, all are lovely machines that sew great.
For sewing folded corners on quilt blocks I prefer a straight stitch machine with the original foot(I'm doing those now). I've got several different brands of machines all of them have their quirks and different uses. I have a newer Viking with all the bells and whistles, I'd rather use one of the vintage machines.

I have had Helen (named after grandmother who bought it new, 201-3, then got the white Rotary and now I am hooked on vintage machines, but have NO room for any more, but I can look!! Addicting for sure. And reading the manual as I was printing if off for the 1911 White, it is amazing what they could do with these old machines.

Isn't it all great, I never knew when I started this quilting thing where it would it lead.it is so much fun with all the machines. All are my favorites! Not everyone understands that! But we do!
I don't have anymore room either for anymore machines, however maybe I could make room for a FW . |
Same here, I never knew when I took up quilting that it would lead me to this quilting board and all the knowledge and inspiration , then on to the "vintage machine" postings. I had never heard of a featherweight or seen one until I saw them here. Now I have 2 Featherweights, one 99 and then got a Singer redeye 66, and lastly have a 15-91. Two have the bentwood cases, one is in it's original cabinet, and the featherweights came in their cases. I also have my "fancier" computer Janome and embroidery machines, but I love, love, love sewing on the vintage ones. So I totally relate :)...plan to keep on loving it all too.

Love my Featherweight, really like the 99's but my go-to machine is my 401. I use that the most.

I am a new member with a lot of machines 2 treadles ,99-13 ,99k, 600, red eye, 201, 128,which I have 2 ,1 is gorilla finish,238,white fw, black fw,15-91,15-90,24 chain stitcher,206,306,301,all singers. I also have a Jones hand crank and and a black gorilla finish Coronado. I love them all but if I have to pick a favorite has to be the 15-90 as it belonged to my mother and is the 1 my 4 sisters and I learned to sew on. I still use it every day.
