Singer Featherweight Photo Gallery

By , About.com Guide   January 19, 2012

Follow me on:

singer featherweightTiny by today's standards, when people see a vintage Singer Featherweight for the very first time they sometimes think the little sewing machines are toys, but Featherweights are actually dependable workhorses that sew an excellent straight stitch.

I've had several Featherweights over the years, like this white version. It lives at my house right now, even though I gave it to my daughter years ago. She has a Bernina, but I expect her to retrieve this little guy at some point. You'll find more photos in our Featherweight Gallery, so take a look, and then consider sending me a photo of your sewing machine.

I have a featherweight that I bought at an estate sale for $75 (can you say highway robbery). Love to sew with it but find myself getting mesmerized by the soothing sound as it sews.
