Nana:
That is how I got mine.

Thanks Nana, I'll do that (watch ebay).I've tried craigslist too. I'd really like a 1956, cause that is the year I was born.

Just keep watching ebay. You can find some great deals on featherweights sometimes. That is how I got mine.

Thanks to all for the warm welcomes (((huggles)))

Leann...

I have plenty of projects to be done and even some my daughter decided this last 6 months she needed to learn to quilt and sew. So since she really doesn't have the money to do all this she comes to "Mom's Fabric Shop" and gets what she needs/wants. I have to say it makes for another trip to the quilt/fabric stores :-) and that is a good thing.

Weezee...

Believe it or not I am not sure how old but my very first machine I had was a Singer Featherweight that belonged to my great-grandmother :-) and I am happy to say I still have it. I seem to gather old machines but never get rid of them. I found out years ago I did buy a new machine (it got returned week later) and it didn't sew on thick items well so back to my old faithfuls.

I've been away a long time also - medical for me also. I've been quilting some but not as much as I would have liked to. I did finish my most favorite little quilt though and posted pictures of it today. My first memory/photo quilt. It's hard to get projects finished when you are ill. I got behind on everything so now I am playing catch up.

So glad you are well again. Keep on staying healthy and have fun with your projects.

Rhonnie:
My new machine will be a Husqvarna Sapphire.

HI Rhonnie, I just got the same machine 3 months ago and I love it. I haven't been about to sew on it because we are on vacation in Florida and no where to sew in hotels. I miss my machine. I joined QCQ back in August and I love it. Glad you hear you have come back. I would love to get a 1956 Singer featherweiight, they are so expensive.

Is there any suggestions of extras I might want to get? They offer classes and I will take them and get 10% off anything I buy for the machine *giggles* I wonder if this will include a trip to the quilt shop down the road a bit.

I have to say while I have been gone several of you have given me a chuckle reading over old emails from our long chats here. I have honestly thought many times about coming back but wasn't sure I was ready....I think I am its too cold outside to do anything and I really need the wonderful relaxation of my sewing machine, even if it is an antique.

My new machine will be a Husqvarna Sapphire. I know its not the fanciest but considering my other half has been out of work for 9 months. He wanted to get me a ring for Chirstmas.... so I got a Sapphire "ring". He went into the shop with me to get needles for his well x-mother-in-law that is adorable lady.....and we came out with plans to pick up my new right out of the box machine on the 4th. When we dropped her needles off I told her and she was excited so guess first step is her house.

I have stock-pile of all the sewing necessities.....thread, fabric, fabric and tons of chocolate. I think I am ready to get the new machine home *giggles* and eat chocolate
