hmmm... want to trade? ;-)

The featherweight is a known commodity, great for its stitch quality and portability. This machine is very pretty, but I have no idea how well it will sew. And it's way too heavy to take to classes.

Keep looking. Occasionally you can find a bargain.

I just did google search for butterfly sewing machine and found several sites, would have pasted them over but don't know how to do that yet. I too would have bought the machine --- I love butterflies as well. Enjoy your new purchase!!!

This looks like a machine my mom owns that is currently on display at the county fair - b/c it's pretty! I'll ask her if she knows anything about it - she might. She "collects" machines - 45 and counting!

Wow you got a beauty. Sounds like a good reason to buy it to me. I got a very old treadle and took it to my repair man to put on a belt and fix it up. He found the manual on line and a picture of the model at the Smithsonian. Interestingly it is missing the plate by the needle and so is the one at the Smithsonian. So he says if they can't find it he can't!! Enjoy!
