Davis Vertical Feed blocks



In the TreadleOn group the Davis Vertical Feed is considered a much sought after treadle sewing machine, especially for those that do machine quilting. You see, the machine has no feed dogs to move the fabric back once the stitch is finished.... how does the fabric move you asking????? The needle does the fabric moving and since that is the case when you are quilting on the machine it means that all the layers moved back together, there is less likelihood of the layers shifting or causing ripples on the back.

Even though I'd gotten my Davis vertical feed machine during summer vacation of 2008 I'd not participated in the Davis block exchange.... the blocks were due in the mail on Monday Oct 5th. The colors were jewel tones with whites... and the block design was quilters choice.... I did two sets of a Churn Dash variation. What do you think???? K
