Ok, I am new to the sewing/quilting world and want to know with all the technology out there why are quilters drawn to the antique Featherweight machine?

You'll love her. My "Mary Ruth" is a 1955 model. You do know you need to name her, right??? Mine is named after both my grandmothers.

For me, it is the portability. I have a Bernina that is too heavy for me to take to classes and retreats (and too expensive to be knocking around even in a case). The FW sews a beautiful straight stitch and is great for piecing. Besides that....it's cute and it makes that old-fashioned sewing machine clickety-clack.
