LaurieE, I believe you have my dog! His name is Oscar and he has a little black/tan brother called Albert. Oscar and Albert Wiener-Stewart!!! And my favourite FW is the same age as me 1940. PS Just joking, they are in their basket watching me type.

I would love a Featherweight . I have seen them for sale at quilt shows and drooled over them. And someday I hope to have one... I keep hopeing to find one at a garage sale or someone who knows someone has one they want to get rid of lol I have a Janome but there is just something about a machine that I can oil to keep it maintained lol .... Ahhhh the smell of sewing machine oil lol

I have two and I love them both. One is 1948 and the other is a 1951 Centennial. They both sew just great. If you are looking for a way to maintain them, Billy, a member of this board, has several threads about them. One is called Vintage Sewing Machine Shop. The other three are all tutorials on how to clean and maintain them. Good luck if you are in the market. They are easy to maintain and sew a perfect straight stitch. And, as everyone else said, they are so darn cute. Oh, and lightweight, thus the name Featherweight. Easy transport for classes.
