Congratulations on all the great finds. I'll bet you did a happy dance when you found the penguin walking foot. I haven't had a chocolate malt in ages - it sure sounds yummy. :-)

Think I'm also getting jealous.. I'm in a one bedroom apartment, with no room.. Had to move the dog house under my office table desk in the living room to make room for my singer 66 in a cabinet.. Dog finally got used to it.. I love the old machines.. and am debating whether to take a ride to the north shore of our island to an estate sale which advertised sewing machines.. At least an hour ride.. in the rain.. Ughhh..

O M Gosh !! A friend of mine told me about these penguin foot months ago and quoted that its expensive as well as hard to find! You are so lucky to received one and i hope you can show us later what you made using this foot.

Oh my!! I'm going to have to start hunting for this. The featherweight is so light...... can you do a large quilt without the whole machine moving around?

Such amazing ingenuity! I wasn't aware of the penguin walking foot before your post. Thanks for educating me!

Heh heh heh I don't know yet - I would say you'd be severely limited by the narrow throat space on the featherweight. The video I posted is not mine.

I recently purchased my featherweight and have only played around with it so far. It joins my other 13 vintage Singers - oops, that number is up to 16 as of this week. :)

BTW I only paid $50 for my featherweight - normal price around here is about $350. :)
