One of my quilting teachers has one, mid-fifties, and it sews like a champ. That's what drew me to this forum.
Your thoughts, please.

Renate,
Featherweights never came as treadle or hand crank machines. Only electric. From their introduction to the end of production there were minor changes externally. I don't think ( my personal opinion ) there's much difference in the vintages.
Some people mistakenly call Singer 99s Featherweights because they are 3/4 size machines. But they are totally incorrect.
