She came into my life on December 3 (won on a Goodwill auction). On December 4, we went to the local sewing store and got her a power cord / foot pedal. I did the happy dance so much when we plugged her in, her light came on, and she hums happily when her foot pedal is pushed.

I know people name their featherweights, and it only took a moment to know this pretty lady's name is Della - after my Great-Grandmother. I do believe she is the one I inherited my craftiness from. :-D Thanks for looking.

Welcome to the family, Della...I hope you purr when you sew! I think that is the sound that my 221 makes...I haven't named her yet, still thinking...

I'd say Christmas came early this year, lucky you! Enjoy!

Congratulations, I'm sure she is happy to be sewing again.

Very pretty and lucky you. I have a friend named Della, she always went by her middle name.

Della is a beauty! Congratulations.

Happy Dance time!! Mine is named Kitty for that very reason- she purrs! :D
Have fun!!

Congratulations on your new addition to the family :D:D:D

She is pretty

She is just beautiful. What a wonderful find. Thanks for sharing her with us.

I hope you use her as much as I do mine. Good luck with Della.

Welcome to the board from Southern California!!!!

The name TWILA leapt into my mind. That's her name, or at least in MY mind!!!

Congrats! She's pretty!

She reminds me of my great-grandmother Della, too! Nice buy.

Congratulations on your new machine

Very pretty.

Della is a sweetie. You will love the machine.

Congratulations!!! Howdy Della.

Welcome,Della and mom to the FW owners club.

Welcome Della, You are one good looking lady!

Congratulations on your new featherweight.
I hope you love using her as much as I do
mine.

Congradulations on your new member of the family. Not knowing what exactly I had, I was given a featherweight when I was in my early twenties. It belonged to my great aunt although she wasn't a professional...she was a seamstress. The machine came with several parts and I'm not sure how to use them all and unfortunately the machine and parts are in storage. The last time that I used the machine I discovered that I needed a new belt for it. My mom found one online for $20. out of California. But does anyone have an idea if there might be one close to the Atlanta area. I haven't named it yet and I suppose I should...so I suppose the only name to give it would be Geneva...for my Great Aunt.

congrats and welcome to the FW club!

How nice, and what a pretty name. Enjoy!!!!

Della is definitely a cutie. Funny, she looks just like my "Little Miss Featherweight". Guess they are related!!!! :lol:

Hope you love her as much as I love Little Miss Featherweight. AKA "Little Missy".

She is beautiful! Congrats!
