I have 4 featherweights as well, one white. I love each of them, although the white is harder for me to sew with because of that second internal gear, makes the wheel stiffer. I recently got a 301 and I love it almost as much as the featherweights, have you sewn with your 301 much? I have others, 99,66,128,201 and a Necchi. I just love them all and use most of them, except the treadles, didn't care for that much. These machines are like potato chips!
