Is There a Point to me Hanging onto my Featherweight?
A few yrs. ago I went on my first quilting retreat & I felt so charmed with these cute little Featherweight sewing machines. I absolutely had to have one myself!!!
After months of searching, I happened upon a darling 1961 beige Featherweight (my birth year).
I paid a pretty penny for it, but the going rate. It wasn't an unreasonable amount.
While it has one good scratch (minor), it's actually in extremely good shape.
But, I really do not enjoy sewing on it.
Guess I'm just very spoiled with the new technology.
Because I can't decide if I want to hang onto it or sell it, I'm going to do nothing at this point.
But, is there a reason for me to hang onto it?
Will they increase in value?
Maybe I should hang onto it for my kids, or my grandkids?
I remember my mother in law telling me that she got rid of her mother's Featherweight the summer before I came into the family (dating her son). That was more than 30 yrs. ago.
Ugh .... I would have LOVED to have had that machine!
Back then, before all this new technology, maybe I would have really loved sewing with it.
I have the case, some accessories, & the original sales receipt.
Can't remember if the owners manual is there.
What do you think?
