I have one; my question is, do you just have these for display, or do you use them, or...? If you use them, what is the advantage of the old machine? I've never used mine (given to me by an aunt), and actually don't even have it on display.
I am very pleased to say I have my mother-in-laws Featherweight sewing machine and table. It is in mint condition. When my Pfaff is in the shop, I use it the Featherweight. It sews perfectly!!! I also have a Singer treadle that I use when my power goes out. It was a gift from a friend ( how fortunate am I) and it is in perfect condition. I just light the Kerosene lamp and start peddling. Use yours and enjoy. Sophie
