This thread is like reading a "best seller" for me. Very interesting. My mom had a Graybar with a knee lever. I got that when she bought a Nechhi later. In school we used the black Singers. I hated sewing clothing, but found quilting when I retired and love it. I now have a Janome 6600P and gave my daughter my older Euro Pro. I started out with a green Kenmore with cams, and it would never sew thru denium, and was frustrateting for me. Also have the janome 350E embroidery machine, and managed to get two Featherweights in the last few years. Gave them to my grand daughters when we downsized, and really regretted it. (not the giving, just not having them around) Older grand daughter returned hers to me last week, and now I'm working on a baby quilt for her. Also have my late mother-in-law's treadle bottom that my Featherweight is sitting on. Love the vintage machines and I never heard of a Featherweight till I started reading this board!!
