She's a beauty! ! !

She is very pretty; you'll enjoy her. There's nothing like the gentle hum of a Featherweight!

Happy Dance time!!! I cannot begin to tell you how much I love mine!! Use her for almost all my piecing these days!!
Have fun :D:D

She will be a dear friend for many years. You will have so much fun together, you will wonder how you ever got along without her. What is her name? :-D

You go, Girl!!

Thanks for all the comments!

Her name is.....Ruby.

That is my grandmother's first name and the name of my Great Aunt, who filled the gap when I lost my grandmother at age 18.

They'd be so proud of you for having such good sense.

wow, :mrgreen: with envy!

I know you'll love sewing on Ruby. My daughter gave me a 1953 Featherweight about 6 weeks ago. I am so enjoying sewing on it! Yesterday, I finished the first quilt that I pieced on it. I did the FMQ on my Bernina; but I'll be making all of my quilt tops on the Singer 221. By the way, the quilt I made on the Featherweight is for my aunt's 103rd birthday next week. She was excited when she learned that most of it was done on a 1953 Singer sewing machine.

Congrats!! I know you'll love your FW as much as all the rest of us that own one!! Enjoy!
