August 2010
We've been struggling with our Singer 96-40 machine that we're adapting to Free-motion Quilting.  It's an industrial high shank machine, and we haven't found a good high shank darning foot to use on it.  We tried a high-to-low shank adaptor for this low shank Viking open-toe foot that we had, but we kept breaking the plastic adaptor.  Finally, with helpful suggestions from the folks at TreadleOn [ http://www.treadleon.net/ ], we lowered the presser bar to accept the low shank foot without an adaptor.  We had trouble getting the foot set for good stitch completion, but it seems to be working well now.  Once we get the stitching going as we want, we intend to convert the power from the temp motor to treadle operation.  We wanted to learn how to do one thing at a time.

Our sewing room spills out into our backyard from time to time, when old cotton module tarps are being re-purposed for other uses.  This time, to make a cover for one of the racks filled with old parts machines.

We've moved things around a little since again since May, and working on quilts has been the priority.
May 2010
We've moved things around a little since last November, and added a Singer model 430 cabinet for our 401A, but we still have mostly the same machines.  We're really glad that we converted our livingroom and dining room into our sewing room, and haven't regretted it at all.
November 2009
In October 2009, we turned our living room and dining room into our sewing room.  The spare bedroom just wasn't large neough anymore, and in fact, is now the fabric and craft supply storage room that is full including a desk and daybed.  Yes, that's a Suzuki VZ800 motorcycle in our sewing room.  It's been in our livingroom since 2005, so we didn't see any reason it couldn't be in the sewing room.

A second (broken) treadle stand was added in 2010, along with cattle feed tubs for more depth.
April-June 2009
The woodwork of this cabinet is pretty well shot, and the base is seized up solid...			...but the treadle irons helped provide us with squash!
