My mom recently gave me a black feather weight. She was thrilled to pick it up at an estate sale for $20. She told the gentleman that it was worth a lot more and tried to offer him more for it, but he said no, that he had enjoyed hearing her stories about all of the sewing she has done and he wanted to give her that great deal. She used it for several years, even made bridesmaids dresses on it. She decided that she wanted me to have it now so she could enjoy watching me sew with it. Mom and I took it into the repair/service center last week for a checkup and they just called to say that it is ready to be picked up. I am really excited about it. It came with a table that it drops into somehow looks like a card table.
I will have to think of a name for her.
