    Here is a link to my featherweights. I can't find the photos in my computer, they're all in webshots though.

    I love all three of mine. The stitching is perfect. I can maintain it myself and it is lightweight.

    I was at the St. Vincent de Paul store a few days ago and they had a walking foot for a Sincer machine with a vertical needle. It didn't say anything else. I was wondering if it would fit my FW's? It did state it wouldn't work on a 321. Anybody have any ideas???

    Hi...I have the featherweight my mother was given to her by her father when I was born, 1943. She & dad used and traveled all over the world with this featherweight. I used when visiting them. When mother passed away in 2005, she had said I was to have & use this great little machine. I have made several quilts now on my featherweight. It has a great straight stitch. It is light and I take it to church every Sat. to my quilting group where 6 out of 8 ladies also sew with featherweights. Use it and enjoy every stitch.

    I just bought a centennial featherweight - ebay. It arrived yesterday at 5:00 pm - and I have 7-day return option. It arrived with the motor detatched because the mounting screw came out (in shipping I'm assuming) and is a bit dusty/dirty. Seller said it worked but no bobbin included so I'm off to shop for those and then will test sew. Hope it is worth my only bid experience! (No one bid after my opening low bid.)
