I have an antique Singer Featherweight, a Babylock Ellure Plus which I use for embroidery, and a Babylock Espire which I use for piecing. Being down since Oct. 20 with a broke leg, I used the Featherweight to make the shop sample of Wildflower Rhapsody. I could get my leg which was straight out while in my wheelchair under the featherweight table. I would not trade for either machine. Oh yes, I also have a 201 "big sister" featherweight.
