Featherweight is the model name of the machine. There are two different Featherweights...one is vintage, production of them was stopped in the 60's, I believe. Really a popular machine with quilters and folks that take a lot of classes or sew in groups where they need to take their own machine...they weigh in at 11.2 lbs. There's a new featherweight Singer out there...some love it, most don't.
