When I discovered that my Mom's "old" Singer that was stuck away in the back of a closet was a Featherweight in near perfect condition (with attachments), you could have heard my screams of delight for miles! It's a wonderful machine to sew with but I also feel my Mom's hand on my shoulder every time I use it.
I've managed to obtain a free motion set up for it (with a cover for the feed dogs) and also a generic walking foot that fits it but I mainly use it for piecing and for paper piecing since I can set it up anywhere so easily.
