My father-in-law just came across two of these old sewing machines in his storage shed. One was his mom's and one was his aunt's. No one else in the family sews, so he gave them to me. I think that they are featherweights. Aren't they cute?

NOW............. the trick is to learn how to SEW on both at once.... :) Lucky you to have such a WONDERFUL, generous, father-in-law. This act of generosity ought to set him for LIFE in getting dinner invites. :) WELL at least dinner at his favorite steak house. :) Don't want to cut into QUILTING time. :)

Good for you, TDgiffin. Nice for these machines to find a good home with you.

Maybe you'll make that Snowman quilt that you've been collecting fabric for on one of these?
