Please, can you explain to me why featherweights are so sought after? :oops:[/quote]
I can explain. Workhorses, you can maintain them yourself. PORTABLE! (I have even schlepted mine on the airplane!). They have lasted longer than any modern day plastic machine. The 2 I have are both older than me...and in better shape too,I might add! As with all things quilty, this is a personal preference. (oh..and I have a modern Bernina too! )
