There are a few of the board members that wanted to see my collection. I enjoy everyone of them. I refinished Blueberry with Automotive Paint and Clearcoat. The Queen Mother is the first one I bought. Found her at the Goodwill for $24.99. She is the one that started all of this. I almost forgot to post the 99K He (Charlie) would have felt leftout...LOL

Wow, that is one pretty collection!!!! Thanks for sharing it on here.

Wow, I'm jealous.

Beautiful machine collection :D:D:D

I have been thinking about selling a couple of them. The 185 K, Jasmine, and the 301 A in the cabinet. Maybe the 99K.

Oh your little Blueberry is making me drool.

Thank you, Oh what a job that was..

Did you do the painting yourself? If so, I'd like to hear yor story and directions about that. All the machines look in A-1 condition.

They all look perfect!

That is one great collection. And I love Blueberry!!!

They all are in excellent condition. When I sell them they are ready to go.

I prepared them for paint and I had a friend spray for me. I did not want to get runs or orange peel in them. Then I reassemble it and it sews great...It is sooooo much work I would never do another one. I have one all ready to paint and have had it ready for 5 years. I hope I haven't forgot how to reassemble it.

Beauties. Thanks for sharing

Lovely!! I have never sewn on a featherweight, perhaps someday though...

Delicious. I would love to have the Celery and the 185K.

Great collection.

I am drooling!

Lovely!

They are nice. One of these days I'll have to get a 301. In the meantime. I'll be content with my 'dark ladies.'

Love your collection. Thanks for sharing with us. :thumbup:

What a fabulous collection! I am seriously green with envy! :mrgreen: I recently purchased my first Singer Featherweight and would love to add another.

Such a gorgeous collection.

Wow. Very nice collection :thumbup:

What a wonderful collection. I'm drooling on my keyboard.

Wow! What a collection! I'd love to have a featherweight and a 99!

What a great collection. I just bought a 301 off ebay, my first vintage machine, should arrive next week

You will love it. You will be able to do FMQ with that one. Enjoy.

Can you free motion quilt with the 15-99?

I don't know anything about the 15. You can not FMQ with the 99. The feeddogs do not drop in that machine. You can FMQ if you buy the attachment that covers the feeddogs and I believe then you could.

Hey, I just finished a king sized quilt that I free motion quilted on my 1951 Featherweight. No, the feed dogs do not drop. BUT, ......drum roll...... you can have the same effect by putting the stitch length at 0, no forward or back motion, and go from there. You will have to lighten the pressure on the presser foot, and probably ease up on your top tension, and you may have to adjust the bobbin tension, but I'm here to tell you that it can be done. I think you could do the same on the 99.
BTW, I do have the feed dog cover, and I prefer to work without it.

I love that little blue one. My favorite color!

To much trouble to adjust all that stuff for me. I'll just use a different machine.

Very nice collection!

The brown one looks like the ones that we used in Home Ec. class in 63' I think it was. Libby

They are all so cool!!!!!!!!!!
I'm slowing building a collection............ started on this board~~ :D

Holy Sugar.....and I thought I was a bad collector.....

I love your collection! They are all so beautiful to look at :-D I someday want to paint an old dilapidated machine and I can't decide on color, maybe red or fushia or lime green.

I know!!!! This board is filled with 'enablers' :mrgreen: I can tell myself....'No more machines!' and then I come and see everyone elses collections and before you know it I am answering ads on Craigslist and bidding (and winning) on machines on eBay :shock:
