For Sale

Singer Redeye Model 66 (G8988625, ca 1921) in a beautiful Nelson (German?) treadle cabinet. The machine has been had my rework/cleaning done and is in perfect working condition and the cabinet is in great working order. Lots of inlay in the cabinet and bonnet. Photos can be seen, along with a description of how these pieces became a set at my flickr website.

$140 pickup only in southern MD, zipcode 20650. I could arrange to meet someone in Fredericksburg, VA, Washington DC, or Annapolis, MD for an additional $25.

For Sale

White VSIII treadle. fair condition, cabinet could use some Fenman's elixir or similar. Has shuttle and one bobbin, I can probably find a box of attachments if needed. There is a picture of the same model head in my sewing machines album on webshots (different style cabinet). Since I have its twin, I really don't need this one. $35

Economy by Standard treadle. Machine very masculine, with art deco style decals. Full rotary, has bobbin case, some bobbins and attachments. Cabinet needs some work, front apron has come off, but I have it. Pictures on webshots (6th page). $25

New Home treadle. Older style with leaf tension, if I remember correctly. Decals faded, has shuttle, bobbins and a few attachments. Nice style cabinet with curved front drawers. Some veneer damage on top, I think. This one is hard to get to, but if anyone is interested I'll get some pictures. $50

Davis VF2 treadle. This is the middle model, doesn't take 15x1 needles. Sews great, used it for Davis exchange. Decals are faded, has shuttle, bobbin and some attachments. Fancy cabinet with curved front drawers. Good condition except bottom of one drawer missing and there is a little damage to the front side of the same drawer. Pictures in webshots. This is a great machine, but my NVF is my go to machine, so I just don't use it enough. $175

Free treadle, this one belongs to my sister. Very nice cabinet except one drawer was missing. Picture in for sale album of webshots. $65

We can bring any of these to the Tennessee TOGA if they are spoken for, but we don't want to haul them up there unless we know we won't have to bring them back!

Let me know if you have any questions. I'd love to find all of these good homes!

FREE to good home!

New Home leaf tension machine in cabinet. This had a motor at one time but motor mount on the machine and wiring in the cabinet were removed before it was given to me. Has all its parts except a shuttle. I don't know anything about New Home and don't want to throw it out, but I don't have time to do anything with it. Handwheel moves rather easily, decals are obvious but not in very good condition, very little rust, but this machine was definitely used. I don't know where the serial number is, but someone scratched SCH55 7-14-45 on the underside of the slide plate. I've taken several pictures and can send you a link if interested. I could drop it off anywhere in Louisiana or near Houston.

For Sale

In 2009, a good friend who is an antiques dealer showed up with a truck load of machines and other SM stuff she acquired over the last several years. She is not a sewer but seems to have a good eye for machines. Below are listed the machines she has brought plus some of mine I was going to sell anyway.

This was A LOT of machines to inventory. I may not have serial #s right. I can’t remember if some of the hand cranks have cases or not. I haven’t checked to see if all the bobbin cases are there and, for the electrics, I don’t know if they work or if the electrical apparatus (foot pedal) is there or not. If interested in a machine, email me for pictures, and I’ll double check the bobbin cases and other details then. I will not thread up and sew on all of them, especially the electrics. Unfortunately, the two items on my wish list weren’t among the load she brought: Veritas treadle and a ¾ (Singer 99) treadle cabinet. So, if anybody has these to sell or trade, please let me know. (I’m not complaining. It was LOTS of fun to handle all these machines!)

  1. Email me if you are interested in a particular machine. I’ll get more details and send you pictures.
  2. If you think you want it, I’ll bring it to a TOGA and you can have a final once-over. I’d advise that you inspect any before you buy because I’m not familiar with all the types here and don’t know if they work/are complete or not.
  3. OR-- You’re always welcome to come by here to inspect and pick up (Waynesboro, VA).
  4. My car space is limited (a Ford Focus), so the ones I’ll bring to a TOGA are first- come, first served.
  5. Yes, I will ship some of them.

Norwood Three-Pole Quilt Frame - Dearborn, MI

I have for sale a beautiful Norwood three-pole quilt frame. Made of beautiful Northern Cherry wood and has an 80" quilt width. I only used it for two quilts and haven't managed to work on a quilt since. One of it's features is that it is a very sturdy frame. You won't feel like your frame is going to fall apart using this baby.

Unlike some frames, this one has three poles which negates the need to baste your quilt first. Your quilt top is attached to the front two poles and your backing is attached to the front and rear poles. Your batting is attached to the front pole and then just lays loosely between the two layers and hangs out the back. This means that you can tension the front and back separately as necessary. The poles are loosened and tightened by using the included rod (shown in the center pole of the left side picture). Each pole has a canvas leader to attach your quilt to. The side bars also have a leader so you can tension the sides of the quilt as well.

I've also purchased separately the light stands that attach to the side. This is a piece of wood that has a hole in it to attach a gooseneck light. The one on the right side was purchased from Norwood. The one on the left side was made special because Norwood closed up shop by the time I was ready to buy it.

Easy assembly and disassembly for storage when not in use.

At the time, Norwood frames were the epitome of quilt frames. To own one of their frames was to own an heirloom piece of furniture. Unfortunately, Norwood has closed it's doors. As I remember, the owner (who had been in business for many, many years) wanted to retire and none of his children wanted to take over the business.

This frame was a lifesaver for me when I bought it. I used a REALLY thick batting on the quilt I was working on and would never have been able to get it in a round hoop, let alone hold up the weight of it.

I paid about $600 for this frame. The cherry wood was an additional charge (the standard wood was maple). Asking $350.

You can see pictures at http://www.picturetrail.com/sbejster in the 'Crafts for Sale' folder.

Of course, this is too large to be shipped so will have to be Pony Expressed. If it helps, I will be in Cincinnati, OH in the middle of July and will be attending the Michigan TOGA at the end of July.

I answer every note I get so if you don't hear from me within 24 hours (usually within 3-4 hours), check your bulk mail folder. My reply probably went there.
