Quilterguy....I had a Simplicity machine (don't remember the model) several years ago. It worked great and why I got rid of it is beyond me :( Probably because I upgraded to a Brother embroidery/sewing machine and thought I only needed to have the one machine. WRONG! It wasn't long until I bought another Brother machine (like the Simplicity) to use for piecing. That way I wasn't changing the embroidery machine back and forth. You are sooooo lucky to get 2 Featherweights!!! I'm envious!! How did you acquire them?
