I have an original FW, also a Janome Gem Gold, but I want one of the new Featherweights like yours! I need one for Florida when I am there and will definitely get one like yours! Thank you for sharing.

WOW I think that machine is great! If I didn't have so many machines already I would get one, love all the features on it
I have an old original featherweight,But I think I would like to have one of those too,hummmm where could I put it?

One of the big differences is the harp space. It looks as though one can barely get an arm in through there. I can machine quilt large quilts on my vintage featherweight, which I don't think I could do on this new one.
I do have a preference for the older machines (all of them) because they are built to last. Most older machines are designed to be serviced, and parts are available. Many newer machines are designed to be replaced, not repaired.
That said, I hope you enjoy your new machine for many years!

I am happy for you and your purchase of your new featherweight. I think it is so cute. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I own an old featherweight, but I am in no way a featherweight snob. I do not think there are no other machines, other than featherweights. I also do not like to rain on others parades, and dont like to see others do that either. I am sorry you have gotten negative comments about your new machine. It all comes down to personal preference. I also own a husqvarna, which was expensive and I wish I had never purchased. But my favorite machine is my old 1974 singer, which is not a featherweight. I know 74 inside and out. I can fix whatever breaks and it has stood the test of time. When my expensive Husq is on the fritz, I work on my 74. I purchased my featherweight to carry back and forth to FL (from AL) with me on my monthly visits. I bought it simply because it is lightweight. I use it for piecing my quilt tops when I am away from home. I thought it was cute and the lightweight hooked me. Now that I see your machine, I wouldn't mind having a lightweight with all the features. But, I have enough machines for now. I do hope you enjoy your new machine and when others rain on your parade, ignor them. People with negative comments should not even post. Have a Blessed day. Sandy

Thanks so much for telling us about your new machine. I have an old FW which I LOVE, but sometimes I need something other than a straight stitch. I will look into the new FW for a machine to take to classes. Like you, I can no longer lug my 30 pound machine back and forth to classes.
Have fun!

I checked it out and I think this is the one I'll save up for. It's got all the feet and the electronics that I would love to have. I love my old vintage machines. I think this is one that will become a "classic" and the electronic components are warrantied for 5 years....the head for 25 years. Yeah I think I'll check this one out!

This looks terrrific and I did not know they existed. I have the Singer 7469 Confidence Quilter which meets my limited needs. I am still a novice. But it would sure be nice to have something lighter with even more stitches to take with me to my weekly quilting group. Thanks for sharing and do enjoy!

I have a 1949 Featherweight, a Brother, a 1962 Singer Touch and Sew, a computerized EuroPro, and a serger. I don't see why I wouldn't like this little Singer too. Looks like it might be a really nice little machine. I think sometimes we might get a little narrow minded about things. We're all different with different tastes and needs.

This is just so cute. You must post your first project. Congrats.

Does it embroider? I'm looking for a light weight machine (I have a bulging disc and have been ordered to lift no more than 10 pounds) that sews AND embroiders for under $400. Any suggestions?
