    First of all, I've never been interested in Featherweights. I've seen all you posting excited topics about getting a Featherweight and wondered what all the excitement was about.

    Then last week, Jim came home all excited and said, "Come see what I got!" He took this little black box into the kitchen and put it on the counter. I watched as he slowly pulled a little black sewing machine out of the box.

    Having seen some of your earlier posts, I knew exactly what it was. I said, "Hey, that's a Featherweight!"

    Jim said, "No, it's not. It's really heavy."

    I about died laughing.

    If you really got a featherweight, Congratulations. If not, LOL.

    I thought FW's were lightweight, not heavy.
