they don't have to lower their standards for little ole me.
It is their loss. I would have thought that it would raise their standards by going that extra mile for their customers. But then what do I know. Kathie

Also, as you can see, some of them are rusty, or otherwise dirty? What's a good way of cleaning them?

I wonder if the Davis (left) ever was shiny?

But it's very misleading to say these are "before" pictures of their machine. And like most situations in life they could have at least asked first! And if they are members they will see these posts...

Dang! I did think it was a little weird they didn't have after pictures. I would be angry too. I went back and flagged it.
it's still there - I would be upset - even more upsetting it was from somebody on the Quilting Board...

I was gobsmacked to open that ad---and then not very happy at all!

They are copyrighted TO YOU! as soon as you snap a pic its your pic and no one can use it with out your permission.
My dad was a photographer and I am an artist I know all these rules.
You do not have to file a copyright it happens as soon as you snap the pic.
I would send them a cease and desist order and provide links to the fact that it is your pic. I would also contact craigslist.
Not that you are losing out on anything but it is highly misleading and its wrong that they think they can get away with it

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?
