Jaw dropped to the floor when I saw the price!!! I completely agree that they are not going to gain much more value so use them instead of waiting for the $$$$ to escalate!! Shaking my head in disbelief!!

No problem here. I dont travel with a machine, which is the biggest selling point (to me) about a featherweight. I'll not say no if a nice one landed on my door for less than $200, but I would rather concentrate on full size machines.

I agree with Muv. I have a FW and do sew on it every now and then but really, I really I dont think they are that great of a machine. Yes the machine is easy to take to class camping etc but I take my White peerless or the 28 HC. I have even taken my Jones CS. They are easy to use and give no trouble and the campers like to watch me use it.
