I love my featherweight. So great for piecing....nice straight stitches and runs so quiet compared to my new machines.

I took a picture of my Featherweight next to my full size Singer 201 treadle.
I can't find the picture in the computer, so I'll give you the url for my webshots pages.

I like my Singer 301 for taking to classes too, it has a built-in handle and weighs just 16#.

Featherweights are worth having just because they are so adorable but I also love to sew on mine. I love to hear the sound of it as it sews. Your picture is perfect for showing the size difference!!

I let my granddaughter (8) try it out and the first thing she said was..."This doesn't sound like mine does. It doesn't make much noise".

I'm taking my featherweight to my mystery quilt retreat this fall for the first time. It's going to be great not dragging my big machine and I won't have to worry about messing up the computer. I'll have a lot more work space on the table, too!
