I bought my Featherweight 222 last summer from a fellow quilter at our Quilt's For Our Hero's group. I love it. Sews like a dream. My DH cleaned it and polished it up and I keep it polished. It's my favorite to take along to quilt meetings, etc. I learned to quilt on a Singer treadle when I was 4. Promptly sewed my pointer finger through the nail and had to wait about half an hour for help to "unsew" my finger, grin. Didn't stop me though.
