Featherweights were not made until 1933 and never were in a treadle. The only cabinets for them have an oval top and two small doors under the top that swing open from the centre revealing a small thread rack and a shelf for the machine when it is not set up to sew. Most Featherweights were portables or in the card table that was available (MIL bought her card table for $25 as it was scratched and a brand new one was $30) You may have a Singer 99 which is a three quarters machine and much smaller than a regular machine but is still much heavier than a Featherweight.

Yeah, sometimes I think Featherweight is kind of the generic for old Singers. Kind of like Kleenex means tissue or the Brits call it Hoovering rather than vacuuming.
