They did make some really beautiful cabinets for featherweights. And you can buy plans to make a cabinet for one. However I have never seen an actual cabinet except on the internet.
Hope they will share at least one of the old sewing machines with you, and if it's a featherweight that would be marvelous. Let us know what happens.

Ok, So I talked to my mom just now. She said they have the two machines in the cabinets, they are both electric. She said that they had one that looked like a kid machine. My dad said no, it's not a kid machine just a small machine the lady did lots of sewing on making quilts and things. So, maybe just maybe this is a featherweight. He said he would bring it over when he came to town next. :) I can't wait. :) Mom is going to look for some #'s on them when she can. I am very excited. ;)

Sadly they're not FW but one is an 99 which is great though, curious why one is viewed like a kid sized but sounds like an FW but isn't? Hmmmm. Go on the www.singer-featherweight.com/siteone%20pages/dating,hmtl to get the yr verification on fw's.
