Isn't she beautiful! She's 60 years old and still beautiful and shiny and sews like a charm! Madeline Fiona is a Centennial Singer Featherweight. These little Centennials were made to mark Singer's 100th anniversary. I have wanted a featherweight for many years and so I decided that this was going to be my 50th birthday present to me!
She's a petite little thing. Only 11 pounds and about half the size of a full size machine and she came with attachments, a buttonholer, instruction book, case, bobbins and a few other little odds and ends. I found her for a very good price and wasn't sure just how well she'd sew, but after a good cleaning and removing a bunch of built up lint and removing old threads from her bobbin housing she just hums along and sews like a dream. I think we will have many happy and wonderful projects together in our future.

She's a beauty! I have one of her older cousins on dispay. Still working condition but not quite as smoothly as in the past - much like me. Enjoy!

Congratulations on being a Featherweight owner. I love mine, and she is so easy to take to classes and retreats. Enjoy her.
She's a beauty!! I have my mother's Singer..a treasure! Congratulations!!!
Lucky you and happy birthday! Perfect gift for it too. I used to have one like that and loved it but it didn't get much use. I don't go to retreats where I'd take it anymore so I ended up selling it to a friend. She's happy and it's not collecting dust here any more. Sure was nice to sew on though. Hugs to you!
Congratulations! I got one a couple years ago to use while camping and I love it.
Congratulations!
