The I. M. Singer and Company began making sewing machines in 1851. In 1933, the company debuted the ‘featherweight’ machine at the Chicago World’s Fair. During WWII, the company’s factories were retooled to support war related machinery needs. In 1945, when they changed back to manufacturing sewing machines, the featherweight was their most popular and reliable brand. The Singer featherweight has long been a cherished machine for quilting and sewing due to its precise sewing capability and easy portability.

Thank you! Expertly well packed for a bumpy flight to Alaska, I unpacked, plugged her in and pieced on a Quilt of Valor. She (Lizzie) sewed like a new machine! I know we have oodles of more hours together. By the way, she was shipped by U S Priority Mail and arrived in an unheard of 5 days! WAHOO1. Thanks for the excellent service and honest description...Shops like yours are few and far between! A extremely satisfied customer!
