Wow I just finished dinner dishes and am catching up on the board and saw this.
I have had my Featherweight for three or four years now and love her! I take her to classes or just perch her on my kitchen table when I need a quick hem or mending job when I have a quilt that I am in the middle of quilting on my Bernina. I try to make sure I fire her up at least once every two to three months to keep her in good running order. That's when I check oil and clean out any lint or dirt, give her some petting and attention. She likes that-alot.
