I had a sewing project underway and my Pfaff Creative's motherboard died on me. I pulled my Featherweight out of the closet and finished the project with it. The Featherweight is an incredible sewing machine. This one is my MIL's from 1940 or so. The stitches are even and very tiny. I was sewing handwoven fabric and it just went right through the fabric as easily as my Pfaff. And it hadn't been used in - I'd say 10 years. Before I purchased the Pfaff, I used the Featherweight for everything. I made at least 10 quilts on it. And it is still going strong. My MIL made all her own clothes on it. And it's tiny and lightweight.
