Welcome to the club. I make boo boos a lot on here and have to go back and check what I have written. It seems my mind goes faster than my fingers.

Charlee, your road trip sounds like a great idea! You seem to be in an area where a lot of great machines are found. If wishes were horses, I'd be there, too!

featherweight
born 1951 june 1 Elizabeth NJ
AK 416867

She came with a case and several feet. should have taken a pic. forgot.
She did not have a plug on her cord when purchased, but
for $179 I got that taken care of.
she has some wear on the front AND I have not investigated how to clean her up from that aspect.
She sews like a charm. Her name is CeCe

Welcome to CeCe - Miss Daisy had some wear, too, but I got her all prettied up with some help from Dave McCallum's book, "The Featherweight 221 and I."

There are some nice machines in Indiana too. I wish I could rescue all of them.

We'll take William so he can drive, haul the Uhaul trailer with all of our goodies, and manhandle the machines, and remind us to stop and eat!

I'm in central MT. Make sure you include me. That sounds like a fun road trip. I may even talk DH into coming. He's good for hauling the heavy stuff too. He'll want to stop at some of the wineries.

That's why it is awfully nice there is an 'edit' button on here. What would we do without it? LOL, LOL
