Gwen Marston says her Featherweight is all she uses, and other people who use them swear by them. A good number of people at the retreat in Sisters had them, which was nice to see. MIne needs maintenance- soon. I haven't done anything to it since I bought it maybe 10 years ago, but it hasn't been used much until recently. :)Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-38776894577414188272012-10-25T08:58:49.828-07:002012-10-25T08:58:49.828-07:00I'm impressed, too!I'm impressed, too!Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-8828011627510801422012-10-25T08:03:06.109-07:002012-10-25T08:03:06.109-07:00It's looking fabulous!

But my sewing skills are still lacking, and it's beyond time to service the old featherweight! This style of piecing is right up my alley. If you asked me to do perfect piecing, I'd be up the creek without a paddle. :)Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-58235118363606779232012-10-25T07:16:18.044-07:002012-10-25T07:16:18.044-07:00It might be pieced by then.

Something very handsome about those quilts, so I just had to try these colors.Bill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-373996407183148608.post-81733075271473551842012-10-25T07:14:36.398-07:002012-10-25T07:14:36.398-07:00Wow, that's cool.
