Wonder of wonders is that it fit and sews.
Mr. Fed looked quite cheeky! Made me laugh. It's like a Halloween costume party. Hmm....getting some ideas here...

Glen we need to start a post for decorated machines. I think it would be a lot of fun. Maybe let them express themselves in a new way. Potato Head loved trading noses with Ms Federal. Maybe Potato Head would like to see what some friends look like.

I love it! And your machines look mighty cute all dressed up! :)
It sounds like we are getting shut down for a while tomorrow. I had a bit of fun dressing them up. Maybe I'll do some more tomorrow. Next time I put one on CL I'm thinking I'm going to dress it up a bit. CL won't be the same will it??? That gray one looks like a machine for a boy to learn on doesn't it. It sews rather gutsy too - gotta love it.
They are oh so cute all dressed up. Thanks for sharing them.

Why not? some of them have personalities you know. You name them don't you??? Why would they want to be naked all the time?

I have a question about my Singer 401A. Is there a darning foot I can get for this machine? I have some extra feet that came with it but nothing that looks like it might be a darning foot. As an experiment, I tried to FMQ with the regular presser foot but it didn't work. The foot had too much pressure. Would love some help. Thanks so much.

That's great. I will go look now. Thank you so much for the information.

ETA: Found exactly what I was looking for. Ordered the darning foot. Thanks again.

Has anyone seen a Singer 411g around for sale? That is the next machine I want to acquire. It must have the treadle hand wheel as I would like to be able to treadle it. The one currently for sale on e-bay doesn't. I will work on getting the treadle case after I get the machine.

A 411g is basically a 401a that can also do chain stitch and be treadled.
