A couple of weeks ago my fingers led my mind to 'Trade Me', an online auction site similar to E-Bay. Naturally I looked in on the quilting and crafts site and accidently hit the sewing machine prompt. As if by magic a little tiny black machine was calling to me, 'pick me, pick me'. How could I not? So I placed a bid and logged off, later that day I got an e-mail to say I had been outbid - well being rather competitive I wasn't going to stand for this and promptly put in an auto bid.
Yahoo I won, this little 
Today , the adoption is complete, I am now the proud owner of a Singer Featherweight, built in Clyde, Scotland in 1952. Oooo, I just love these machines, they seem to chortle when sewing. I think I'm hooked, and am already looking for a future adoption - anyone out there under the same influence?
hugs
I am hooked big time. I have 6 blacks, 2 whites, a recently acquired 222K and a 301. I piece on the 221s and quilt on the 301.
ReplyDeleteAre you aware of the yahoo group specifically for featherweight owners?
