I have a 1941 Featherweight that I found when I cleaned out my in-laws home a couple of years ago - you will love using yours for quilt tops. I found the best book for learning all about your Featherweight and how to maintain it - it's called The Featherweight 221 and I by David McCallum. You can email him at :

Your FW is fantastic. I hope you enjoy sewing on it as much as I do mine. They are a great little machine for piecing.

Lovely! Welcome to the club! I went from one to three in a month or two. Actually, I got my first, took it to a Singer dealer looking for bobbins etc, and got my 2nd, within 2 hrs. They attract one another. I have many machines, but love the feel, smell, look, sound, and stitch on these beauties. Haven't tasted them yet....hmmmm....

I was wondering, exactly what is a feather weight? Is it just a plain machine used for straight stitch and especially for piecing? I worked in a factory once where I sewed on labels in the neck of shirts. The machine was tiny but very fast. You could zip around those 1x2 inch labels very fast. I wish I had one of them. of course you had to sew in a lot of labels in a day to make minium wages.
