Bad news - quilt class cancelled. Lost Ebay bid for featherweight.
Good news - quilt class rescheduled. Bid on another featherweight - won that one then found out my DH had bid on another featherweight without telling me and won! I now have 2 featherweights coming! Live is good. |
Wow! It's almost an embarrassment of riches! The Easter Bunny came early to your house....enjoy!

Ok, you can send me one---I never get that lucky. Very happy for you. Enjoy.
|
Good for you!

I feel silly asking this, but what is a 'featherweight'? I have deduced that it is a type of sewing machine, but please explain the value of it in quilting.
|
Things are going your way, Congrats!
|
And the best part is it's all DH's fault! Such a fault...
|
Vintage Singer lightweight machine called a Featherweight but it is technically a 221 model. Made of aluminum it weighs like 9 lbs (11lbs with the case). Has a fold up extension bed. Only sews a straight stitch but a beautiful, consistent one. All mechanical so most of us can service our own. Great portable for taking to class.
And cute, so cute. Just darling. Love mine. |

Well! I am just downright green with envy. You lucky lady. Yes you are blessed 3 times over ... featherweight, featherweight and that sweet loving hubby!
|
one lucky lady

Janet, many of us here seem to collect featherweights (I have 3!) because they are the best little gals to work on. They are also known in sewing circles where I grew up in Brooklyn, NY as Eleven Pound Portables. Some quilters here have been lucky enough to stroll into a 2nd hand store and find one for as little as a $10 bill, while others have been waiting for that stroke of luck because too many Greedy Gus's out there have priced them into the several hundreds. Persistence and patience will pay off - stay alert and look for that little black box with the metal snaps on the front - Lady Luck might be waiting for you just around the next corner!

Thanks, Debbie! Is the Featherweight a certain brand?
|
