Besides my featherweights I have a 301 which is a little bigger than the featherweight but also lifts up on the bed of the machine so you can get to the bobbin area easier, I love it, it also sews like a little thrashing machine. Is great for fmq. I think they stopped manufacturing featherweights sometime in the 50s. There are repos out there so buy beware, I don't know how they sew, but they are made with plastic parts and the original were made with metal.
