I was glad to read everyones posts on this site. I bought a Singer Featherweight 2 years ago on E-bay and she was in very good condition. I think I paid more for her than most of the posts on here but I love using the machine so for me she was worth every penny. I believe I use her more than I use my 2 new Berninas. I named her after my mother and grandmother who both taught me to sew Amy-Rose.
