Would some one please tell me why everyone is crazy for the featherweight? I have one that looks brand new and was bought for my stepdaughter when she was about 13, she is now 60. It was a used machine then. It works just fine, however I don't use it and the step daughter never did. I just gave my slanto-matic 400 singer to my daughter in- law. It still works like new too and I bought it in 1964.
