I am finishing up a quilt, and have decided to let my 1937 Singer model 15-88 sewing machine take a rest from working.  It is a machine I use often, but I have so many machines!!!  :)  I am going to finish the quilt with my 1891 White Vs2b treadle machine.  My father had a White VS2a (BS) machine, and when that machine went to my brother, I bought a similar White for myself.  I would like this machine to be as comfortable to use as my Singer 15-88, and the only way for that to happen is to use it often.

Below is my Singer 15-88, now in repose:

And below is the 1891 White Vs2b, covered:

and uncovered:

There are a couple of differences between Singer machines and White machines, and in my case, the most notable is that sewing feet are not interchangeable between the machines.  I do have a set of White attachments, but I am more used to using Singer attachments, so there will be a small learning curve involved with the attachments.  In addition, on this particular White, the bobbin winder works a little hard, so winding bobbins will take a little longer.  Simple things to overcome!

My 1891 White VS2b treadle sewing machine- ready to quilt!  I have a border and ends to finish today.
