People ask me all the time, 'what's so special about the featherweights?'.......

1. Featherweights are small and lightweight. That makes them easy to take to a class or a retreat. I personally love that about them.

2. Featherweights are made of metal, not plastic, so they last for years and years. It's easy to find parts for them and you can do so many repairs yourself saving you lots of money over the time you own one.

3. Featherweights are easy to maintain. It only takes about 10 minutes to oil one and less than half an hour to do a complete oil and grease job twice a year.

4. Featherweights sew a beautiful stitch. Many people tell me their $$$$ machines don't do as nice a stitch as their featherweights. And, while they don't do zig-zag or emboidery stitches, there are attachments that will allow you to do much more on your little featherweight including zig-zag and other stuff.

5. And, here's the big reason...... Snob Appeal..... When you take your featherweight somewhere and use it, people just go crazy over it. They're just so cute and sound amazing. I love the 'click, click, click' of the motor. I know, people don't want to hear about the snob appeal but it's a factor.

Okay, there you go. That's my reason for owning featherweights. I have a white one and a 222 as well. Love them to death.
