I would do a search for featherweights here on QB. I'm sure you will find hours of reading and previous posts as to why they are such loved machines. Good luck and have fun.

For me they represent everything that was good in the Industrial Age, a beautiful melding of form and function.

I think many like it because it is a vintage Singer that does not break your arm when you carry it
