FeatherWeight Qwners

Just took my Featherweight on vacation. Sewing while looking out at
the changing leaves on the mountain and knowing that the maid will
come in tomorrow and clean the room. It can't get much better.

I have two Featherweights. My husband bought me one for my 50th
birthday. He went on the internet and located one made the same month
I was born. He gave it to me in public announcing that it was an
antique made the same year I was born! He could have left that last
part off. Later I purchased one from the estate of one of my students.
I knew she used one in class so called her son to ask if anyone in the
family wanted it. I wanted it because it had belonged to a special
lady. Now when I teach classes as a charity project I can use the
older machines. I always hate to take my expensive, multi-stitch
machine to an area where I know the women could never afford such
machines. I want them to know that they can use an older machine as
long as it has an even straight stitch.

Hi All,
I was wondering how many Featherweight
owners are there in this group?
I have just made the winning bid on one
on EBay and I'm very eager to get my
hands on the machine!

Hmm.... Would she be paying ONLY the shipping costs? ;^) I have a line
forming at the door, no shipping required.

I know someone who might take it off your hands.. :-)
She would give it a good home, and pay all the shipping costs.

I have my local guru looking for one. I've told him that cosmetics are
unimportant, as I want to have it re-painted, but mechanical workings must
be very good.

For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision:
But today well lived
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day.
