Oh here is the pink Sterling I bought a couple weeks ago. My granddaughter decided she wants to finish a rag quilt she started a few years ago - using the pink machine! I am really glad this machine will be used![ATTACH=CONFIG]342613[/ATTACH] I oiled and cleaned her up - it will be good for the machine to get a good work out!

Oh the blue painters tape is Kassidy's seam allowance. Also, this machine is one of those dedicated left hand needle position machines that Miz Johnny used to talk about!

8 hrs is a long ride for a sewing machine unless you can come up with an excuse to be in the area (family, friends, etc...). Think I'm starting to prefer ebay for heads. Last time I bought a treadle off craigslist I got a $125 speeding ticket in DC not to mention the gas money. That was my most expensive Davis ever.Originally Posted by Charlee
It's only 8 hours from me....

Question on the dedicated left hand machine. Isn't the painter's tape over the feed dogs? I checked out my Universal tonight looking for a machine to use while the 301 is out of commission and the needle is so far left that a 1/4" will be in the right feed. I don't see how it can sew a straight 1/4". All I can do is try tomorrow after I put a new plug on it.

Bless you Jan. I will be praying for you and your husband. I can't even imagine what you two are going through. Please keep us updated.Originally Posted by quiltdoctor
DH has had 2 of 5 daily chemo treatments for Acute Myeloid Lukemia. He is tolerating it pretty well so far. His blood counts are in the pits, so he is getting blood and platelets regularly. He will be hospitalized till about July 15, if all goes well. This is a stubborn cancer that takes a rough chemo. I read the list every day on my smart phone while at the hospital. I'm enjoying seeing everyone's new machines. Mine are sitting here keeping me company.Off to bed for me.
