I bought a cute white featherweight on E-bay for my 9 year old daughter and she loves it. Of course I think I'll be taking it to quilting classes for me also :). My mother sewed on a black featherweight - I don't know if it was a centennial or not, but I remember playing with it when she left it out on the dining room table and I made the bobbin area look like a birdsnest! I still have a touch of Bobbin phobia to this day....
