I hope you all don't mind me showing another neat old machine I found. It is not a sewing machine, but this treadle grinder was so neat I just had to bring it home today. Patrick
Another "oh look" moment for me. I discovered that the ironing board could be situated under the section of the cabinet to help hold the quilt while attaching the binding.
Cool! That is very interesting, and gold too! I was thinking of a smaller grinder, like for coffee.

This is my latest quilt. The piecing was done on my Singer 201K, and the quilting and binding were done on the Davis NVF. Only the decorative stitch, that I used to finish off the binding with, is from a modern machine. The quilting foot (bar) that came with the Davis didn't seem to fit; so, I made my own out of a coat hanger. It fits through the hole in the foot, but I had to tape it in place since it would slide around. My lines aren't the straightest, but that doesn't matter to me.

I am just as curious as you are. Is the machine all cast iron with metal gears? Belt driven? Is there plastic anywhere on the machine?
I'd bet Billy knows the answer to about how old your machine is.

I don't do any ironing, but for a helping hand on a quilt that looks like it does the trick. And that is a great looking quilt.
