I was thrilled to find a featherweight 221 Singer machine at the thrift shop the other day (and though it is decidedly not light compared to modern machines, it is significantly lighter than my old Singer... and just as beautiful)! It is in perfect condition and works like a dream. I decided right away that it would make a perfect present for my girl's 7th birthday... if I can wait that long to share it with her! She loves hand stitching and I think teaching her to sew with this beautiful machine is going to be such a fun adventure. It just goes to show that you never know what you'll find at the thrift shop... and from what I can gather an $11 featherweight is an absolute steal. Isn't she pretty?!
