That sewing machine was made before the concept of planned obsolescence was introduced to manufacturing. Nothing being made today will last 80+ years. What an awesome example of excellence.

Some of the semi-industrial and industrial juki’s are the closest contemporary equivalents but suspect even those won’t compare to the early Singers.

@@FlamingLotusDesign I purchased a Juki TL 2200QVP Mini a year ago - it’s a semi-industrial straight stitch only machine - best sewing machine I’ve ever used by a long way - drinks a lot of oil but then it’s mechanical. My sister has two featherweights same age as yours approximately. She also has some 201s too as well as a modern Pfaff machine. Mind she’s quilting machine herself - produces about 10 quilts to every one of mine. Funnily enough we both watched this video one day apart independently! And whilst walking our dogs across a farm field towards the local canal we mentioned separately your wonderful work. Happy quilting from Northern England.

Ugh! “Just a quilter!” I hope you didn’t mean to insult all quilters with that phrase. The reason quilting isn’t considered by some to be an art is because it’s traditionally an art practiced by women. Please don’t perpetuate that sad stereotype!

I may do a more in depth featherweight video eventually, but in the meantime check out some of the existing online resources for more info. Here’s one you could start with: singer-featherweight.com/blogs/schoolhouse/singer-featherweight-faqs
