You are very lucky. Yard sales or whatever around here are usually full of kids clothes.

Neat story. I love serendipity.

I think I’m the only quilter on the planet that doesn’t want a featherweight. I know, I’m weird.

You found a great deal. It is sad that when someone has no sewing interest that they just give away items that mean so much to us sewers and quilters. It was your lucky day-congratulations

My first featherweight was given to me by a stranger. I had forgotten that. Years ago an older lady I was talking to asked me if I had a featherweight and I said no but I'm looking for one. She was moving and had several and wanted to downsize. She said follow me to my house and she gave me one of her white ones and told me to enjoy it.
