I bought a little girl Featherweight 4 yrs ago. Got her fixed and with your help, found out she was made in 1929. Today was the first time i got to use her. WOW!!! now I know what all the talk is about. she hums like a new engine was in her. I can't wait to use her on a new project tomorrow. Now I want more, but don't have anyplace to put more. as it is now. she's in the corner of the kitchen, but she's tiny. I love her!!!

Aren't Featherweights fun! ! Mine is a Centennial Edition: 1851-1951 One of the reasons Featherweights sew so well is that they do not zig-zag, so the feed dogs are closer together and feed the fabric better for a quarter inch seam. I love piecing on mine. And they are so quiet!

with Mariposa's help, i found out she was manufactured in December 1939. Everyone here is so helpful.
when i originally bought her 4 yrs ago, i asked here about the price and what to look for, again I was helped by someone on the board. so thank you everyone. All her decals are so shiny and pretty, her box doesn't smell musty, I guess because I bought her at a second hand store and the box aired out there. i love her. and she is so quiet too.
