Sold my Singer Featherweight sewing machine this morning. With the way the economy is heading for myself, I needed the money. Went fast....first lady that called bougth it....and fell in love with it.
Her first name is also Donna. She makes Prayers Quilts and also Quilts of Honor for Madison Hospital. My machine couldn't have gone to a more perfect home!
Told her she had to give it a name and she wanted to call it Donna after my name and hers.....but she liked my suggestion: DD

It sounds like a perfect match for the new owner. She's happy and so are you to know it went to such a good person. I'm happy for both of you! (another) Donna

It's just wonderful that you've found the perfect home for your Featherweight. Wouldn't it just be dreadful if it were boxed and stuck away in a closet? Polly
And furthermore. I was looking at SMs over at eBay; it's just something I enjoy checking out. Saw one whose description included: " has chew marks on spindles". What do you think? Do you suppose the owner was having a melt-down and was unconsciously chewing on the spindles? maybe a QI that was still teething? Polly
It's really difficult to send a Featherweight to a new home, but it does sound as though you found a home where it will be loved and cared for. I realize we're really not supposed to anthropomorphise objects, but in the case of a Featherweight I do think it's justified -- they KNOW when they are loved, and respond accordingly. DD will be happy in her new home, even though she will surely miss you, too.
