i AM NEW AND WONDER ABOUT THE SINGER - FEATHER WEIGHT.I have one (from mother in law) doesn't jump
when sewing and is good and can sew straight. But can only stitch straight. What else makes them great, mine is about 60 yrs. old. never used much. Before I make a mistake and sale it. thanks so much for you information |
wow, wish I had a featherweight,
don't sell it, you will love it to take to retreats and does excellent sewing! some of us are still looking for a featherweight and you have one, hold on to that baby |
They are extremely sought after. DO not sell it without a lot of thought.
The beauty of the machine is its ability to sew a great straight seam. Very necessary in quilting. It is easy to maintain and a workhorse. |
You could sell it to me!!
People like them because they sew a straight stitch, and are light weight and easy to haul to class. Plus they look really cute!! |
I am wanting one and do not need it just want it so do not sell until you put a lot of thought into it
|
They are light weight and great for taking to classes. I think you should keep it. At first I thought the same way but now I want to get one. I've been collecting old things lately; I told my sister that I think its because I want things in my house that are older than I am and still works. I don't know if that's it but it sounds better than saying I have a "Problem" I do like old things and I'm trying to get a machine for each of my grandkids. If you decide to get rid of it PM me; I live in VA as well.

If you sell it and I had the money, I would buy it.
They are lightweight, easy to handle, fairly quiet, sew a great straight stitch, and are just a really nice little machine. Hope you decide to keep it and learn to sew with it. |
Featherweights go for a lot of money. An old one in excellent condition would be wonderful

I just bought one after a long search. Hold onto yours for a while before even thinking of selling it, for its sewing prowess and for its history.
