Putting my Silver 15-91 to work
 

I don't have room for a Christmas tree, but I found a panel I fell in love with - so I'm getting it quilted up and will hang it on the wall so I can have some Christmas Cheer!

I'm using gold embroidery thread and going over the gold outlines. Then I'll switch to my sparkly thread and fill in the background a bit. DH made me a nice thread holder for working with thread like this.

Great work Cathy! That's really lovely.

I see pictures like this and I'm reminded just how beautiful the Singer 15 is. It's a really, really nice machine. And yours looks fantastic, especially working on a beautiful Christmas panel.

Merry Christmas to you and to everyone.

Is that real silver?

Beautiful machine and fabric panel. Neat looking thread/spool holder your dh made. Curious, though, (and uneducated), why don't you use the machine's spool pin instead?

Nice work Cathy! Great looking silver too.

Nice looking machine and work.

Where can I find a darning/quilting foot like you have for a Singer 15 clone? Do all the clones use the same size of feet? I need/want one for a Universal clone that I use at our church sewing circle.

Wow, what a beautiful machine. Looks like fun to sew with. I only decorate with quilted items because my cats would destroy a tree. A little green and red goes a long way. Happy Holidays!

"Silver" is just my nickname for the machine - it's nickel. Nickel 15-90 just does not sound near as nice.

Sew Classic - About $15 and it works fine. Just a short shank hopping foot and should work on any short shank machine. And for FMQ, it won't really matter if it's a left homing machine, as long as the feed dogs drop, and that seems to be common.

I need to order a few more as I gave some away with a few machines. Most people want the 15 for FMQ, and they can start right up if it comes with the foot.
