Good for you. You will love it. I inherited a Featherweight when my Mom died 4 years ago. She got it from an aunt who never married, a professional woman, who hardly ever sewed. She was Mr. Bristol's of Bristol-Meyers personnal secretary (1940's 'till 1970's). If sewing machines could talk! (It came with all the attachments).
Thank you Great Aunt Leo.

LUCKY! I have heard so much about them on here, I sure would like to find one! I have a Singer that was my Aunt's. Runs like a dream. It is in a wooden case. Then I have my grandmother's treadle, my MIL Necci, and my Husqvarna. Don't know if DH would let me get another, only 2 work to the fullest. We're working on the other 2.
