ube...you will love your little machine, and you're right about the Featherweight Shop...they not only have anything you might need, but they are also willing to help you when you have problems. One of the problems with a little featherweight is that when a tiny piece of thread gets caught in the bobbin case it stops the machine cold. The first time it happens to you it's scary...but the Featherweight shop has a video that shows you exactly what to do to remove the thread and get your machine going again. Enjoy your prize!
