Antique/vintage machines

Ok here are the pics of my antique machines.
As far as quilting, it doesn't seem to be a problem feeding the quilt thru with one hand, the fabric tracks well so I don't need two hands.

Uwwwww, sweeet, QuiltingRN. What great eye candy.

I don't have the necessary things to collect, but boy I can sure Pinterest and enjoy others' supply. Really, I can't complain with two Sears Hand Cranks and one treadle in my presence. Just think, as of a couple years ago I had neither. Humph, come to think of it, who's to say what the future holds, may acquire other nice treasures in the antique sewing machine arena.

The bottom right one appears to have silver decals. Uwww, yummy. What are their names? I wonder if many members name their babies. My hc is called "Tabitha" and the Minnesota treadle is "Dorcas". I chose those names because Dorcas was known for giving and helping others in her congregation (Hebrew Scriptures). Then, I learned "Tabitha" is the Greek form of the name Dorcas. Plus, Tabitha is such a cute name; sounds better than Dorcas, LOL. My goal is to use my girls to help others somehow.

Thanks. All the decals are gold, it is just the lighting that makes it look silver. The one on the bottom right is my main machine. I don't have any names for them, just never thought of it! I mostly refer to them by their model number...99, 128, 15,

All mine have names, but having recently moved a bunch of things around and having consolidated, they are in various places in the house. I do believe I have added one more to my collection since this album was posted - Doris has been with me less than a year - she's a treadle who hums like a true Singer.

nice machines Sandy! I will have to take a picture of my Featherweight, it is a 1957 and was my mother in laws. I don't have room for any more machines, but I would love to have another handcrank!
