I have had Helen (named after grandmother who bought it new, 201-3, then got the white Rotary and now I am hooked on vintage machines, but have NO room for any more, but I can look!! Addicting for sure. And reading the manual as I was printing if off for the 1911 White, it is amazing what they could do with these old machines.

Isn't it all great, I never knew when I started this quilting thing where it would it lead.it is so much fun with all the machines. All are my favorites! Not everyone understands that! But we do!
I don't have anymore room either for anymore machines, however maybe I could make room for a FW .

Same here, I never knew when I took up quilting that it would lead me to this quilting board and all the knowledge and inspiration , then on to the "vintage machine" postings. I had never heard of a featherweight or seen one until I saw them here. Now I have 2 Featherweights, one 99 and then got a Singer redeye 66, and lastly have a 15-91. Two have the bentwood cases, one is in it's original cabinet, and the featherweights came in their cases. I also have my "fancier" computer Janome and embroidery machines, but I love, love, love sewing on the vintage ones. So I totally relate ...plan to keep on loving it all too.
