The reproductions are of very poor quality from all that I have been told. The featherweight fanatics discussion group has alot of info on the subject. I have not seen one or sewed on one so I cannot say this from personal experience. I have been lucky enough to own about 10 featherweights in various condition at this time. I have re-painted some with new decals, serviced them and sold about 8 to other quilters.
I love featherweight so much I have become a "featherweight fanatic" Should I decide to thin out my collection I will list them here lst.
