Last year I didn't even know what a Featherweight was until I joined a sewing group since then I bought a 1953 FW on ebay (which is the same year my sister was born in). So about 3 months ago I found a 1957 FW on ebay and I bought that one too because that is my birth year. So now I call them by our middle names. I use the 53 the most - she sews beautifully and I take her with me every week to sewing group plus she will be going with me to the sewing retreat in Lincoln City, OR in 2 weeks that 18 of us from Washington, Oregon and Northern California are going to.
I will have to take some pictures of them and post.
Thanks,
Sherryl
