Well, I got the newest addition to my sewing family yesterday. Thanks again, Cynthia! Being that it had my DH birthdate, I thought I would be naming it after him! But, to my surprise, when I took it out of the case, all that came to mind, was " SHE'S so cute", so her name is "Peachy" after our dearly departed tiny toy poodle. Actually, they were about the same weight!!! Now, I can't wait to have a day off so I can play!

I should have taken a better pic, because the lines you see are just from the glare!! She is beautiful!

Cute machine! I named mine "Sweet Pea". They are just too darn cute. I even had to sew a miniature quilt on mine when I got it.

Have fun!

Peachy is so cute, have fun with your featherweight, I still want to buy one but will have to save some $$$ as heating bill in central Indiana has been expensive this winter so far

I actually waited (patiently) and found one on Craigslist for $50! I just had to re-build the bobbin case (needed the 2 teeny screws), but I got her to work. It's one of the few electronic machines I find fun to play on.

I named mine "Franny Featherweight", but she went to a new home to one of our fellow board members.

Congratulations on the arrival of Peachy. I have Bobbin (black, and arrived without a bobbin case, but seller finally sent me one) and Connie (white) I have to stop there, I am not wealthy!

Peachy and all of the others are adorable. Where do you find them and how do you know if they are workable and how much they are worth? Are they reliable machines to use and how do they comapre to the newer ones?
Lots of questions, I really am interested.

Congratulations on your new machine! I was watching HSN the other night and they were showing the "new world release" Featherweight. In the background, there was one that looks like yours.

This new one was all white and plasticy looking. I thought they might still be making the style that you have. Am I wrong?

BTW, just looked it up on Boston Craigslist - two listings for $375 and $355. Wow!
