I use both of my machines almost every day. My daughter gave me a Featherweight to take to quilting classes; but I use it for piecing. My Bernina is used for machine appliqué and for FMQ. I usually work on the Bernina in the morning and the Featherweight in the afternoon. I really like being able to do my piecing without having to take the BSR, walking foot, etc. off the machine. I just go over to the Featherweight. It also comes in handy when the Bernina goes in for cleaning. So far, I have been able to do all the servicing my Featherweight needs.
