Congrats! I have the Featherweight that I learned to sew on- from my mother- she reluctantly handed it over after making me promise to keep it in the family- what a crazy concern as I now have opened a long arm quilting studio and retreat in the downtown of our small rural NE Iowa town. Here is a great website for the shop I was recommended to- she treats each unit as an individual and cares for it and offers great suggestions. I realize you are in Ireland....www.quiltersportable.com or
