You can't help but fall in love with them! These little machines are the best. I got both mine (yep 2!) from Craig's list. Paid about $200.00 in great shape. (You'll get hooked real quick!) I was making a flannel quilt and my Janome (Gem) just wasn't doing as good of job on the stitching as I like it to be so I tried my featherweight and it was awesome! It just purrrred and hummmmed all the way. Just as happppeeey as can be! They are the best! Just keep looking and be patient so you get a really nice one!
