They were my favorite. Can't imagine being able to make one. And if it were me I would be trying to think of any way that I could use the process to do something very non traditional or unexpected lol. Hope you atleast try it!!! Good for you .. :)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00212881055855463796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905879541316023509.post-69078951872738358182010-11-29T08:58:28.562-08:002010-11-29T08:58:28.562-08:00how lucky! i was just as thrilled when my m-i-l of...how lucky! i was just as thrilled when my m-i-l offered the family feather weight! i always had wanted one.<br />now i have never seen a pleater so am glad to see it pictured here. there is a pleating attachment dot the featherweight but i have no idea how to use it!nandashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12679913146205462190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905879541316023509.post-54660594124626306832010-11-26T21:47:53.027-08:002010-11-26T21:47:53.027-08:00Gilly you are just so lucky to have something like...Gilly you are just so lucky to have something like this handed on to you....I reckon its fate. can't wait to see what beauties you produce with this.<br /><br />xtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430494885069813060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905879541316023509.post-22388652338923425682010-11-23T16:30:08.555-08:002010-11-23T16:30:08.555-08:00Hey Penny - if you lived around the corner you cou...Hey Penny - if you lived around the corner you could borrow it at will!
