The weight of a machine can make a big difference if you have to move it! My Singer 328K is heavy and is also installed in a 5' X 4' cabinet which mh DH made for me more than 50 years ago. I love having the Featherweight available when I've got my 328 tied up with another project. Since I've gotten so doggoone old, I don't see as well and I have a hard time threading the needles. It's far more convenient to go to the Featherweight than to pull the thread and/or change the setup on my other machine! Just a thought. I'm sure we can all survive without a Featherweight, but I got one at a bargain price, so I don't have to do without it! It's your call! Enjoy!
