Years ago my Mom brought me a Featherweight.. I was very happy to recieve it, and thanked her for it of course.. But I had no idea what I had until maybe 10 years ago. I got it out one time to take with me on a business trip. I thought it would work out well since it was a small machine.. Not only did it sew beautifully, but I found these wonderful little machines are in high demand. My mom passed away before I fully understood what she'd given me.. One day I'll pass this on to my daughter, and we'll both be thanking my Mom for years I'm sure. Now I have 3 of them.. but I only use the one regularily. It's my favorite. I need a name.. something as old as she is.
