I first learned how to sew on my Mom's Featherweight when I was 8. I remember how pretty it was, the fancy gold designs, the cute little light bulb, the black case, the green manual
She'd gotten it as a wedding present so it must have been a 1949-50 model
Unfortunately she TRADED IT IN on a "modern" Singer Touch n Sew !! I know she wanted the "upgrade" back then ... but how I wish I had THAT Featherweight today :cry:
