The Singer Featherweight is a model of domestic sewing machine made from 1933 to 1968. They are portable, with a flip up bed that allows them to fit into a neat little box. They are highly valued among quilter’s as they make an amazing stitch. They are also fairly quiet. Singer first made them in black. Then they added white and tan. Several years ago I acquired my first one at an auction. It is the black one made in 1946. Last year I added the white from 1964. And I search for quite some time to find a 1961 in tan. I recently got it. (They are shown in the photo here with and without their cases.) There is a tradition of naming Featherweights after women. I named the black one Nola Mae for my paternal grandmother, the white is Lucille for my maternal grandmother and the tan is Barbara Ann for my mom. These three women taught me to sew and to love crafting. I feel like I finally hit the TRIFECTA of Featherweights! I love these three little beauties.
