I bought a little girl Featherweight 4 yrs ago. Got her fixed and with your help, found out she was made in 1929. Today was the first time i got to use her. WOW!!! now I know what all the talk is about. she hums like a new engine was in her. I can't wait to use her on a new project tomorrow. Now I want more, but don't have anyplace to put more. as it is now. she's in the corner of the kitchen, but she's tiny. I love her!!!

Lynnie, have fun with your FW tomorrow. Yes, they are sweet little machines!
|
Mine is so quiet that I told my DH that I could sew in church and nobody would know it.
|
You'll love her. I have two, but use the most beat up one. The 'good' one was my MIL's and the decals and finish look good. I just do better piecing on my FW. Glad you're in the group, Lynnie!

Aren't they great? I love mine, also. You might want to recheck the number on your machine with the Singer site. Featherweights were not produced until 1933. Have fun with her!

I love my little cutie! Enjoy her! (From the other Lynnie)

Lucky you. Enjoy her when you are not PPing.

Aren't Featherweights fun! ! Mine is a Centennial Edition: 1851-1951 One of the reasons Featherweights sew so well is that they do not zig-zag, so the feed dogs are closer together and feed the fabric better for a quarter inch seam. I love piecing on mine. And they are so quiet!

Welcome to the featherweight group-you will love using it.

with Mariposa's help, i found out she was manufactured in December 1939. Everyone here is so helpful.
when i originally bought her 4 yrs ago, i asked here about the price and what to look for, again I was helped by someone on the board. so thank you everyone. All her decals are so shiny and pretty, her box doesn't smell musty, I guess because I bought her at a second hand store and the box aired out there. i love her. and she is so quiet too. |
