Davis NVF Vertical Feed Treadle Sewing Machine - Loading a Long Bobbin & Sewing has Needle Feed

Here's my 1917's DAVIS NVF VERTICAL FEED that I'll be using for the next 11 blocks of Kathryn Kerr's "365 Sampler Challenge". This is by far my favorite machine for quilt binding, or any multi-layer sewing, since it has a needle-feed walking foot!! No shifting of layers--no bottom feed-dogs!! The needle and upper feed-arm move the fabric, so layers can not possibly shift. Also, can back tack and uses standard 15x1 needles (unlike earlier VF models that need "dagger" extra-long needles). This isn't my prettiest machine, but I will never part with it due to the needle-feed walking foot. Here is a short video of her at work making the Feb. 24 block. After using it for 11 blocks, it is NOT my favorite piecing machine, but, again, it is my favorite for binding and sewing multiple layers.
