Surprising use for Featherweight
So my husband asked me to repair the rips in the boat cover. I REALLY didn't want to drag the old, dirty thing upstairs to my sewing room. My solution? Take the Featherweight out to the front porch. I thought I would have to coax the heavy layers through the machine, but I was SO WRONG!
At one point, I had to sew through 3 layers of canvas and 2 layers of braided strapping. My little Violet whizzed right through the layers with no problem. DH was amazed at the resulting stitching. The boat cover is repaired!
They sure don't make 'em like the used to!
