I just won on ebay! Hope I am not disappointed in the machine when it arrives. Bought one from the year I was born, an early b'day present to myself.
Can't wait for my Singer Featherweight to arrive:)

Which models of 'oldies'do you have?
I see that you live in NE Ma. How much snow are you expecting. I'm in the Worcester area and hopefully we'll only get a few inches, although, my kids are already planning a snow day, from school, tomorrow...lol!

brushandthimble 03-31-2011 05:48 PM

I honestly don't know what they are, I did look one up but don't remember, can't get to one in the basement; asked DH to dig it out and bring it upstairs.

I think you are expecting 6 - 8 inches, we are up to 2 -4 inches. Hopefully it will be over by 5pm; I have to drive to Amesbury, almost an hour away and be there by 5:30. Google Crafters Quarters in Amesbury, I host the first friday PJ/UFO party and Log Cabin Frenzy. 6p til Midnight. we have lots of fun and get some sewing done. Come by sometime and say hello.

wvdek 03-31-2011 06:15 PM

Woohoo. Happy b-day. Enjoy your machine when you get it.

CarrieAnne 03-31-2011 06:17 PM

Wonderful birthday present. Glad you won it.

samifel 03-31-2011 07:14 PM

My friend gave me a sewing machine that had been her Mom's. I was so touched by it, because I loved her Mom. Well, talk about someone who lives in a bubble...that's me. Because of the posts on here, I finally googled featherweight and saw a picture.....Much to my surprise my machine is a featherweight and it is the Centennial model......

SEW 03-31-2011 07:16 PM

Oh boy! You are gonna love it! Hope it comes quickly!!!

manley 03-31-2011 07:30 PM

You will love it. I am making a baby quilt with mine now. I am machine piecing and might just try my hand a machine quilting it. It is small. I love my featherweight. It sews great and just "purrs". Little Kitten is her name. :D

Congratulations! I won an auction on eBay this week too. My featherweight was born the same year as me. I am anxiously waiting her arrival next week. Should we get our girls together for a playdate??

Enjoy!!!

countrycottage 04-01-2011 05:36 AM

You're going to love it!! Have had mine since 1965, it was made in the 1940s. I've sewed many a stitch on that little machine.

I'm so pleased for you! I love my Featherweights!

peevypat 04-01-2011 10:26 AM

Congratulations, I also won one on Ebay. Mine is a 1955.
Sews like a brand new one and I'm dying to finish the quilt I'm on so I can start a new one. I named mine Audrey after my Mom who taught me to sew.

peevypat 04-01-2011 10:26 AM

guess I hit the wrong button will try again later

gramquilter2 04-01-2011 10:31 AM

Congrats on your new/old Featherweight, you are going to love sewing on her. They are truly awesome.

brushandthimble 04-01-2011 11:57 AM

Sure she would love a play date:) She was born the same year as me; its what I looked for.
I am both nervous and anxious, afraid she won't be "perfect"?
