Are you 65 and from the class of 65?? I also was born in 1947 (Sept) and I and about 5 other life long friends from elementary through high school friends go out to eat for each one of our birthdays. Last year our motto was "65-65"; gals from the Class of '65 turning 65!! Congrats on your wonderful new machine! I found a Pfaff 130 but it was made in 1950, the year my brother was born.

I also bought a 1950 featherweight on the Road to Oklahoma shop hop yesterday. Also considering my moms name as I found it on her birthday June 8th and the machine birthday was June 5,1950. Excited to try her out but another storm last night left us with no power again:-(( . Maybe tomorrow I can see how she does.

I like you was born in 1947. However I have not been that lucky yet...Congrats !! Great score..

My "Abigail" was born the year I graduated from High School: the centennial model. And I don't feel old. I'll leave that for my 90's; late 90's! ! !

Congratulations on your 1947 Featherweight :) They are just too cute.
I just received my 1957 Featherweight (my birth year is 1946). I couldn't hold out for a 1946 - seems lots of gals were born in that year too. My little machine has had a hard life. He was rescued by a family name Bowser who nursed it and put it back in service thus the name Bowser ... he's a tough little puppy. I have ordered a seam guide from novamontgomery.com. Check her site if you are interested. Much less expensive than a 1/4" pressure foot. She also has a threader that makes it easier to thread the needle. (I am not related to Nova nor do I receive a kickback.) Enjoy! |
Good for you!!
|
What a wonderful find. So glad you were able to get one.
|
Very glad for you ! Enjoy !
