RE: to featherweight
 

I was in a Antique Shop yesterday and seen a machine in a display case, it said featherweight but it looked like a child's machine. It was very small. They were selling it as a if it were a full size machine. I know they are smaller but are they that small, lol...can't see me sewing on that. Please clear me on this matter. I have only seen pic's of them, never one for real.

Here is a photo of a featherweight alongside a Singer 99 and 201, for comparison sake. Hope this helps.

They are small, about 11 pounds. I have a collection of them and love sewing on them. They're especially nice for small projects, piecing, etc.

jlm. nice collection of singer sewing machines. i have the 15-91. hope to have a collection, soon as i can find them at a good price.

Here is a link to some 3/4 size machine pictures http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...e-t185449.html

I use my Featherweights most often for piecing as well as free motion quilting. Love them!
