I sew daily on a 1934 Featherweight that I wouldn't part with. I have another machine that I use for fancy stitches when I need it. I love the simplicity of my Featherweight, just a plain straight stitch that is perfect everytime. When I teach classes, I put my Featherweight in its little carrying case and go. Some of us have the fascination and some don't, I guess that's why there are so many different types of sewing machines on the market. If we all liked the same thing life would be boring!! :-)
