Congradulations on your new member of the family. Not knowing what exactly I had, I was given a featherweight when I was in my early twenties. It belonged to my great aunt although she wasn't a professional...she was a seamstress. The machine came with several parts and I'm not sure how to use them all and unfortunately the machine and parts are in storage. The last time that I used the machine I discovered that I needed a new belt for it. My mom found one online for $20. out of California. But does anyone have an idea if there might be one close to the Atlanta area. I haven't named it yet and I suppose I should...so I suppose the only name to give it would be Geneva...for my Great Aunt.
