After reading with interest all of the comments I have decided to retrieve my FW from a packing box stored under my basement stairs. It belonged to my Mother and she made all of my clothes on it. Until reading about FW's on this site today I didn't realize how valuable they are or how much easier they would be to use instead of my Janome 4000SE. We use our Motorhome all winter, so I could travel with it. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Lucky you... I have a 310 it's a bit heavier but sews like a dream...

sorry I'm new to quilting - what's a featherweight?

Please read previous posts.

Congratulations to you. What a great Christmas gift for you. Enjoy!!!

:thumbup: sounds great!

Congrats. I know you'll enjoy it. I buy and sell on ebay and I have been very happy. My ebay address is whitediamond98, if anyone wants to check out my fabric.

My nephew knew that a featherweight was what I had him on the look out for but his friend gave him this one and his friend's wife asked him what are you gonna do with a sewing machine and he told them he was giving it too me. He told them that my health wasn't good and I was taking up sewing and he thought I needed it.

I love mine! Got to have one!

I would love to find a rocketeer too but they are getting out of my price range. I think they are so vintage and cool looking.
