Oh man! It's bad enough when they do it to a Singer. What was that before the vandalism?

Sometimes it does not hurt that they DO NOT know what they have.

That one’s pretty neat. Better than many that I’ve seen. A lot of thought went into that Crawler Tractor. And finding all of the matching gears to make the tracks may be the reason for the price.

Sorry, the truth was that their "Singer" is actually a Davis VF1. The first high arm model of the Davis Vertical Feed machine

It is called a walking foot by some , but it is actually a "Needle Drive", where the needle lifts, moves forward, then the down stroke puts the needle through the fabric, then it moves backwards taking the fabric with it, then lifts and does it all over again. I have one and it is SOOOO much fun to sew with..

That is SOO cool! Is it hard on the needles though? Seems like it could be.
