Davis VF questions
Is there something special about these machines? How can you tell at a glance (or in crappy Craigslist pictures) that it's a Vertical Feed machine? After reading a different thread something tickled the back of my mind:

Are either or both of these VF machines?

You can tell by looking at the presser foot and needle bar. The presser foot looks as if it is grabing the material to feed under the needle. Also there are no feed dogs. Very nice machine to sew bindings on with because it is like using a walking foot.

Jon, great! Now I'm waiting for some better pics. If I get this I'm going to have to start consolidating treadle machines and get rid of surplus bases. We currently have five bases (all Singer) and way more machines than that - including Whites, New Homes and a Damascus.

Are there any disadvantages to the VF beyond parts availability? It seems like a great idea for most everything except free motion. I suppose it's more complex mechanically but I wouldn't think it would be as much so as a zigzag machine.
