My featherweight

Everything I have has to be small, lightweight and have a place to live. 

When you have less than 400 sq ft of living space, 

all space is at a premium.

I have carried my mothers sewing machine with us 

for all 6 years we have been fulltime.

She actually gave me the machine about 20 years ago, 

and I am so glad she did.

This is about the only machine that I have ever sewn on. 

It is nothing fancy. 

There are no special stitches.

It does not even do a zig zag stitch. 

But this is my baby and I love her. 

She plugs along with stitch after stitch.

All of them straight as an arrow. 

She is perfect for piecing quilts but not so much for anything else. 

I am looking at new machines that do more. 

But I will never give up my Featherweight.
