It's a cute machine. I have a 1952 fw I got at a yard sale for $10.00. I used it to make my granddaughters quilt with. I love it. They are so easy to work with. I'm looking for a 1958 now.

[quote=BoJangles Laura, I have 4 different Pfaff's and I never heard of Model 73. I tried looking one up by googling a Pfaff 73. Nothing came up. Can you post a picture of the Pfaff? Next to my vintage Singers, Pfaff is my favorite machine -- altho, not so much the new ones!
Nancy[/quote] I will try to get a pic in a few minutes. Thanks. |

The 66 is in-between those two, she purrs just a bit louder than the 201. |

Nancy,
I found you another machine! I think this is one of the Davis Vertical Feed machines. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/atq/2066077651.html If the machine is a vertical feed and if you don't own one of these, you may want to go after this one. I understand that they are nice for sewing on bindings, sewing with flannels, and thick layers. This one looks like it take the Boyle needles while the younger of these Davis Vertical Feed takes a 15x1. http://www.kelsew.info/domestic/davisVFmodels.html So many interesting vintage machines out there, and all would be fun to play with. :) |

I love my Singer 201-4(now a treadle), its the quietest treadle I own. I do think the 201 spoiled me, I've tried my New Home VS and I don't like the tick-tick it makes. Apparently its normal, just gets on my nerves. :( Its been repainted, the machine was a mess, I didn't do the repaint; bought it cuz its purple. :-D |
