I learned to sew on a Featherweight. I bought my first one for myself for $25 at an auction in Nebraska in the 1970s. I now own 35 Featherweights. I was going to go into business but then got sick. Soooo, I will be selling most of them soon. My husband will go through each one and make sure it works well before we put it up for sale. If any of you are interested, PM me and I will give you first dibs.
