This blog is intended as a bulletin board to show the quilts I've been making on my vintage and treadle sewing machines. My husband and I collect antique and vintage sewing machines and I use them to make all my quilts. Here are some of the results.

Innovation
I was testing a Singer 401 in the garage for Jake as he was servicing this machine for one of my students. I was sewing large squares together. The table was a little rough and there is not much of a flip up bed on a 401. So, I searched around and found this office organizer? cutlery organizer? Not sure what it is, but I bought it at a yard sale as these are very handy for keeping scissors or other tools sorted! It was just the right height...put my slider sheet over it and voila, a handy extension table for the machine :-).

This really helped make the surface much smoother!
Necessity is the mother of invention! Great idea!
