Nothing related to vintage machines or quilting.

Vintagemotif this is off subject but the vs2 really has a nice sound when it sews and you are right it is a wonderful sewing machine. I am now piecing a quilt with it to learn all about it.

I made a couple of sewing machine covers with mine. I too love the sound and the stitching is even better than my 201.
The other machine that I own that stitches as nicely is the Standard Rotary.

It does have a nice straight stitch and no trouble with the tension either

I hope you didn't run into any PI. That stuff is horrid.

Poison Ivy isn't found on the west coast. So nope, just the long thorns from the citrus tree.

I should have stayed in Oregon where I was born... moved to Wisconsin when I was 9 months old - packed up my little bag..... nah.

I love it when top and bottom stitches are gorgeous. It's a very smooth machine for being a VS.
