While I do not have a white featherweight I do have a white Janome 2007 that I dearly love and use constantly while my Disney 4000 sits. I even used gold metallic thread on the Janome by loosening the tension and it did beautifully, a task not every machine can do. I so enjoy and use many of the stitches built into the machine. If you can love your mac hine anymore than I do mine then both machines will be so happy. Congradulations and happy sewing.
