Congratulations. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do. It just hums along like a little jewel.
How about Little Jewel for a name?

Carol, welcome to the Featherweight Club. It is a great group of proud owners of the cutest little sewing machine! I'm sure you will enjoy using her as I like using mine.

I picked up a FW when we were camping last week. It had been totally reconditioned including the electrical and sold with a year guarantee. Of course, I paid twice what you did, but she's a honey. Hasn't had much use, or else it had more than average care. There was a tag on it with the name "Nancy". I'm not sure if one should rename a machine, so I just added to it. It's now labeled Fancy Nancy. It was issued in '49, has all the pieces and parts, box is like new, well almost, even the oil pad had been changed. It's going w/us in the camper when we travel. I have a special room in the camper for my quilting stuff, the bunk beds were removed in the slide out -- just need the right table and it's a GO! Hope you enjoy your new sweetheart as much as I do mine!

Katy, it sounds like you got a great little machine there, and a special place for it when you camp. I'm so very happy for you also. Love the name you gave your machine!
