I just finshed a double size pieced top on mine. My husband was travelling out of town, so I tagged along. I took my Annie with me and set myself up in the hotel. The desk was amble for cutting the fabric, sewing, the kingsize bed worked as the design wall and the iron and its board was easily accessible. Both my Viking and Elna could have done the job, but they are heavy! My DH was able to watch tv at night with me sewing not 4 feet from him and he wasn't disturbed by the sound. The housekeeping staff was in love with Annie too, calling her "buen bonita!" Don't sell yr featherweight you will come to love her with some use.
