Thank you!

I bought the pattern to make a dust cover & sleeve.
I really wanted to add this on the front but wasn't having luck finding the Featherweight applique pattern.

That is so cute! Would be so cute to make the block and do cross stitch and embroidery to make it look like your machine for a wall hanging. I don't have a FW yet but I'm saving the link. Thanks!

Lori -- thanks so much! I just acquired a vintage machine yesterday -- perfect timing!! I am sort of confused -- is a featherweight a very small machine? Or is it just any vintage machine? Guess it is obvious I am a newbie here....

A featherweight is a small vintage Singer machine. I would call it a 1/2 size machine and then Singer also made a 3/4 size machine too. The featherweights are known as model 221 or 222 (I think the 3/4 size machine is known as a 301). The 222 model is a free arm machine and the end of the bed lifts on both machines for access to the bobbin and to store in their carrying cases. The 221 weighs about 11 lbs not much considering they are a solid metal machine. These machines are very nice machines for straight stitching and the small size makes them good for classes or in my case the machine for the RV. When you get a chance do a search here on the board for featherweight and you will find lots of info and pictures too. :-) I haven't even taken a picture of mine yet :oops:
