Such an awesome find! That little machine looks like it needed a good home. YAY for taking low shank feet! I also prefer screw-on feet. I am murderous on snap-on. I tend to kill the snap-on ankle that holds the foot...seriously, I went through about ten of those in six or seven years on my Baby Lock.
1 down! (quilted anyway). I will try to work on it maybe Sunday. Also need to see if I can dfind something that will clean the case without ruining it. This week's focus, however, is quilts quilts quilts!
That Kenmore's case (and the machine too :D) is so cute!
Good luck getting those baby quilts done! Sounds like you've got the worst bit done already (basting... my least favourite thing...), so you're basically half way there.
No pins. I hate dealing with pins. Lots of good tutes out there. All you need is a can of spray baste (June Tailor works great) and painters tape or big clips/clamps to get your backing nice and tight on the table.
I'll definitely have to take a look! I usually make smaller quilts, but I'll be making one for my niece's dorm bed in a few months, so that sounds very handy!
You could also use fusible batting, and avoid pinning that way. If it's a smaller quilt, like baby or wall hanging, that's cool. I used it on Phebe's PoD and it kept coming unstuck. So I won't use it anything that big again.

One quilt is quilted. #2 is in progress. I might actually manage this!
