My wife is a professional quilter as well as a c & v cyclist (1979 Raleigh Cameo, 1982 Bianchi Nuovo Racing) and my mom has been a quilter, seamstress, and sewing instructor for decades.
Currently the stable is an electrified 1910 Singer 66, a 1950s White Automatic Zig Zag deluxe, the shop workhorse 1970s Pfaff 1214, a modern Babylock serger, and a recent Gammill Classic Plus manual quilting machine with a 10-foot table.
We sold off two Singer 221 Featherweights recently- a 1947 model in good condition, and a properly serviced 1948 model that sewed very well.
