DH is refinishing the Hales Crescent cabinet - he had to rebuild the top - so I need to save a place for that machine! I am also almost done with the Hitachi refinish, but where oh where am I going to put him? OH My!

I think this cabinet is for a Necchi. I once saw a Necchi BU in a cabinet like this. I think some Necchi fit into Singer cabinets; so, a Singer may work with this.

I used my Singer 401A e-machine yesterday to finish off the binding with a decorative stitching. It was lots faster than treadling my Singer 328K. First time using it for binding work. It had no trouble, great little machine with lots of power, just had to get use to the foot control.

All quilting is done on my Davis NVF.

I am at the point with my treadles that I only 'want' the treadles now that have a name on them - like the White that says 'White' on the irons, the Davis, etc. I am getting very picky!
Congratulations on your new cabinet - it will clean up really nice!

There is that same cabinet except it is lighter on Ebay item #290635921098 and it is a Pfaff. However don't know if a Singer machine will fit as I don't have a Pfaff.

I am still on my quest to find either a 15 "clone" or one of the "newer" Japanese made machines that drop the feed dog so I can get set up for FMQ on a vintage machine. Lost a bid on a really nice two-tone 15 clone on ebay this weekend
Here a one of the "newer" ones listed on CL. Would like opinions please. Not familiar at all with Brother machines. Would this be good to use for FMQ?

TIA for any thoughts, comments, suggestions!
