My purple featherweight 222, custom painted with Toyota car paint and multiple clear coats and silver featherweight decals. With the case and all accessories including the original embroidery hoop. Hands down. Sews like a dream. All the rest can be replaced with the exception of a few of the collectible antiques.
One sewing machine for everything: Kenmore 1941. All metal. Will never break down.
No power? my new home treadle.
quietist? Elna Grasshopper.
Most collectible, my restored swan neck hand crank, restored Wilcox & Gibbs hand crank, or civil war Grover and Baker treadle.
I could go on.....
You get the picture, its so difficult to choose just one. But fire, grab just one? Purple featherweight 222. Not even a question. Would cry over the antiques, but won't go without my purple 222.
