Your Davis videos inspired me to purchase a VF machine. I have it and am in the process of restoring it. Can you recommend sources for parts for Davis machines? I see you have found a source for accessories and that also would be very helpful. It's an amazing machine and I am glad to see you published another Davis video. Thank you! Mark in Colorado.
I check eBay, Craigs list, Facebook (there is a Davis VF group) routinely. Once you have it working, it is unlikely that you will need many parts in the future. My biggest challenge was getting a few decent bobbin shuttles; which I did in the end and this resolved my tension issues.
So, can you buy just the swing away part and the binder attachment separately, or do you have to buy the whole thig for each binder attachment? I can't seem to find just the base piece and then the separate things to go on it.
The binder attachments generally comes as a complete entity. I have seen that some attachments will connect to the swing away. Thus it depends on which ones you have/buy.
Yeah, I'm only finding as complete. I figure for the price, I'll order a 1/4" and 1/2" for now. Did you happen to ever find separate binder attachments or a way to mount any others?
