I so love my Featherweights. I have three. One was my husband's grandmother's on his mother's side. Another was my husband's grandmother's on his father's side. The third I picked up in a shop that sells all sorts of stuff - sign outside reads "we buy junk, we sell antiques". I was actually looking for a table for my front porch that day and found the Featherweight back in a corner under some other stuff. I am so grateful that I have them and use them all the time. I have two homes so they are split between the two. Awesome machines!
