Sewing on my "New" Featherweight....Finally!!

I bought this "new" to me Singer Featherweight last year and am just now getting around to sewing and checking it out.

It was made in 1955...just like me!!!

We are both 57 years old...

I wound a bobbin

and adjusted the tension and sewed a practice sample.

Any suggestions, hints OR Featherweight knowledge???

Please share your expertise with me...THANKS !!!

Blessings all,

Kathy

Working on Baskets...

I am sewing along on my basket blocks that the guild members made for me...

Trying to find aqua embroidery floss to hand embroider a block about my years of NQG presidency. Wouldn't you know it...with all of this floss NO aqua.

Designing  border for this jumbo rick rack and some flowers to tie it all together ...want to hang it up in my sewing room once I get it all painted. DO NOT LOOK FOR THAT TO HAPPEN AMY TIME SOON! But at least the wall hanging should be ready.

And will use some of this lovely fabric ...

And finally...

WHAT a find on Etsy...a handbook for my new featherweight machine!!! Only paid $9 too..good deal and it is an original.

Blessings all,

Kathy
