For straight stitching (piecing) it is the greatest!
Oh! and it's easy to maintain the oiling and little lube-ing that is needed.... do you have the manual??? just read. I'd never let my featherweight out of my sight, as it was my mother's, bought in 1947 and I have the sales receipt to prove it! They are great little workhorses! or kittens... as it just purrs!
Enjoy!
