I can't believe it. I just got a call from my brother. He's getting me a featherweight! I'm sooooo excited!

The only downside is I don't get to see it for another 2 weeks. It's be the longest two weeks of my life!

I'm going to ask him to send me pix so that I could post it.

awesome, I want one!

So is this day one and only 13 more to go ? LOL Now we all are as excited as you :thumbup:

Ohhhh, I am so happy for you!! If it helps any, the wait is WELL WORTH IT. Mine took almost 3 weeks to get and I thought I'd go crazy waiting but my little beauty purrs so much I forgot all about the wait until you mentioned it :D
Kinda like going through labor and then forgetting all the pain when you see your little bundle.
Geezzzzzzzz I am bad!!! ha ha

lol.....you are bad!!!

The funny thing is my brother sounded very excited too. He told me the gold trimming is perfect, but the case is a little worn out. It came with a lot of attachments, only he doesn't know what they are....

waiting......waiting.... waiting... :lol:

Sharon....lol
13 days sound worst than 2 weeks....

You have such a great brother!! I do too and I told him to be on the lookout for any vintage machine where he lives.
Brothers ROCK!!! :D

You will love it and I am so happy for you!!

They sure do! that is how I actually get the machine. I thought him to be on the lookout! And he came through for me. Yeah.......

Thank you!

I've never thought that i would want one. Funny, how things changed.

Congrats to you! Glad your brother is looking out for you!

Happy for you, give that brother a great big hug! Brothers are wonderful.

I bought a singer 66-6 in original cabinet with the attachments and book. Does anyone have one?

Oh what nice news! Send a picture when you get to see her..

I will. I just have to wait two weeks to see it.

I'm sorry I forgot to tell you i'm happy for you. have fun.

Lulu, My brother always comes through for me. I don't know what it is b/c you wouldn't think it if you knew him but he's been there for me my whole life :D One time he drove from New York to Ohio to deliver firewood for me b/c " he knew I liked to light a fire". He will remember the most obscure things.
I just can't wait to see your new baby!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

I'm so happy for you lulu. Your brother is the best. Mine tell me "you all ready have 12 sewing machines, you don't need any more."

My Feather Weight took forever to get to me too. It's worth the wait. What are you going to name it? Be sure to post pictures when it arrives.

I got one and it took a week. But it seemed like a month and I love it.

It came the day it was suppose too and it was from Florida.

I am so excited for you. I can't wait to see it. I'm counting down with you.

Okay I'm happy for you but I have to admit something--what is a featherweight? I know what a brother is and a singer and a few other brand names for sewing machines. Hope you can post a picture soon.

Featherweight is a small Singer. They came out around 1935 to the late 60's for "the housewife to have a machine that is easy to care for". They sew a beautiful straight stitch and are so pretty! They are also easy to fix, lightweight, which makes them a great machine to take to a class.
You could do a search and type in Featherweight. Lots of pics, including mine that I posted last week.

Sooo, like, where did you say you got that brother of yours....

Congrats, on your new baby, it'll be here before you know it.

Thanks Patti! You guys are really the best! I really don't have friends who sew so they sure wouldn't understand!

lol..... I have four brothers but only one like him! He's as cool as they come!

Do you have HER 'bedroom' all set up? :)

Oh yeah, right in my sewing/office so that I get to see her everyday!

Congratulations, what a great brother. We are all waiting with you. Almost half over.

I got it in my hands now..... woooohoooo.

I won't be able post picture of it until later next week. sorry.

WooHooooooooooooo! Can't wait for pictures. :lol:

OMG you have it????????????? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
