You do not need to change the winder on the machine, but I know what you are talking about but hers is old enough to not have the later design handwheel.

Thanks!

I just added it to it and I even added a few of the quilts that I made on some of my treadle machines.

I am thinking about selling some of my machines. Would anyone here be interested in sewing machine heads.
I have a 66-1 red eye (but it has an electric hand wheel)
and a singer 27 with 2 bobbins and a shuttle

Neither are in a base I am just out of room and I think I have found my machines i use all the time.

Also for those of you who have shipped sewing heads approximately how much does it run.

I just dont know if I should sell them here or list them on craigslist. I would rather they be sold to someone appreciates vintage machines.
Do people just buy machine heads?

Someone please go after this! I love my two Davis Vertical Feed NVS for binding work. I really don't need a third one.

I wish I was closer! I might try and mail him and see if I can just buy the machine and he can mail it to me!

Billy

I'm closer then you Billy but not close enough. I really want one of those.

My husband has to go to San Jose tomorrow; I just emailed to see if the machine is still available!

GO for it!!! These are wonderful machines. I love mine so much that I have two....I'm trying NOT to purchase this one.

I am coming up there later this fall. Do you want to foster it for me for a few month? Of course then you may get too attached and not want to let it go. :-o

What, you don't want to do the road tour that I posted? No seriously, I can't fit this into my schedule right now; otherwise, this machine would have been mine by now. I saw it posted once before, about 2 weeks ago. At that time, I had wished that someone would grab it. So, here I am again wishing that this machine makes it to another.

My husband is picking it up for me tomorrow morning. I am shocked that he was so easily convinced :) Actually, since he has three antique motorcycles, how could he say no?

E-machines that are vintage machines count too...along with FWs. All are welcomed!

Congrats! You are going to love using this machine for binding work -and also other sewing projects. The Davis NVF uses the regular 15x1 needles. There is the Davis VF yahoo group that has an excellent wealth of helpful information on the Davis VF.

I'm happy to read that someone here is saving the machine.
Thanks! and Enjoy!

I felt so lucky that my 66-1 Lotus came with lots of back clamp attachments!!
