We looked for a feather weight for a very long time. One day my DH went into a shop that sells most things cheap to help people with their electric and other things. He came in with this machine for 20.00 and said I think I got you a feather weight and I thought he didn't have enough money to buy that. But he said he gave 20.00 for it. I looks like a feather weight, gold and all still good. Box is good but when I typed everything about it on the internet it came up saying this machine is a sister to the FW. Don't know what that means but the machine is so pretty and I have never taken it back out of its box.
