I'm sorry you all [Except for a few]feel that it makes such a difference if my featherweight is a real one or not.Most of you have turned a happy time into a controversy over this.I am sorry but I don't think I want to be a part of this board anymore.And to " Featherweight"I'm sorry but most people I know can't even afford a sewing machine.I feel sorry for you if this bothers you so much.I want to thank those of you that made me feel welcome and I will miss you.Bye
