Vintage Sewing Machine Shop.....Come on in and sit a spell
Candace, I don't know why it wouldn't be accurate? Even if the fabric is moving back and forth, I think you could still follow a line? Anyway, I love the odd and unusual! I'd love to try sewing with that machine!

Well, if I can only use one, does that also apply to all the machines I have? LOL I sure hope not!
Randa, I do have one walking foot with my FW's, but I have never tried the foot to see if it works or if it is the correct foot for these machines. I will have to get one of the FW's out and try the foot! I just never had a desire to use a walking foot on the FW's. I only use the FW's to take to quilt classes to piece with.
I will get back to you.

I will get back to you.

Nancy,
The Alphasew motor will stay there as long as needed. But I shall continue searching for the brush caps until I find one or the hot place freezes over.

Joe, tracking the 15 clones, the HA machines, seems to be a puzzle. Here's the one I'm thinking of buying. It's sewing well but the motor is noisy at lower speeds. I have no idea if that's normal. Mine is a Montgomery Wards, but there are all external labels. [ATTACH=CONFIG]310450[/ATTACH]
Sew...Nancy!!
I spent the afternoon playing with my Necchi Supernova Ultra. Fun!! machine.
You asked me how well does it treadle. Very nicely!!!
I found it very easy to FMQ with after I made some adjustments to the upper tension. I felt the Necchi was easier to use for FMQ than the Singer 15-90. Can't pinpoint why that is so. The Singer is in what I consider to be the better of the two treadles.
I'm tempted to move the Necchi out of the straight-leg and into the treadle that the Singer sits in, just that the Necchi is HEAVY.
Lovely stitches from the Necchi.
The Necchi has tons of decorative stitches that I'm still playing with. I can't say that the decorative stitches are prettier or better than the Singers' 401A or 328k at this point. I guess I'm missing Hank the Tank, my Singer 328k. I turned him back into an e-machine the other night. I might still use him for my decorative binding since there are a couple of stitches that I like from him.
This is turning into a saga, sorry.

Rose_P, I love your Harris No.9. Decals look to be in excellent condition. Enjoy that beauty!
