Good riddance to bad rubbish. I'd be very unhappy if someone pulled that on me. If you're going to use a sewing machine as a doorstop, there are many boat anchors available at nearly every second-hand shop in the universe. Find an all-metal monster from the 50s or 60s, or pick up one of many Singer 127s that have been left to rust away in barns and garages, that will actually hold a door.

I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to my Featherweight and put it back together, but I've got plans of decorating it something fierce. I'd love to take it to an auto painter and get it done in purple glitter. I mean, why stop at cute when you can have ridiculously over the top cute?
