Lots of people are waking up to what their parents and grandparents got rid of years ago. In my town's newspaper there has been running a want ad for a Featherweight for over a week now. Someone really knows what she or he wants!! Might be a surprise Christmas present for some lucky person.

lucky you. enjoy. In 1961 I had a Singer I bought new in 1956 and it needed a new belt. I was very busy, so I sent my DH to the Singer store, writing down the model, etc. when he returned, no belt. when questioned, he said the man would be by in a couple of hours. "man", I don't need a man to change the belt. He just laughed. When the "man" came, he brought me a new 401 Singer, with all the attachments. I still have the machine, it still works great, all the discs and attachments still working. my DH passed away in 1989 from cancer, but the memories are still good.
