FeatherLIGHT (NOT singer) machine?
I was at a junk sale today and they had a little blue featherlight machine. Definitely not a singer, but I assume it was meant as a copycat. It looks more likea small elna grasshopper than anything. I googled and can only find featherweight info from people who mistakenly call it a featherlight. Anyone have any info on these machines? Thanks!

Yes, I've seen these before. They're very cute and I remember doing some research on them after seeing one listed for sale. I couldn't find much either. But, I think they come in several colors and if it was a decent price I would have bought it:>
You'll find more info. if you google Featherlite sewing machine. |
There is one without a nose on GW right now:

I stick far away from GW. At least with ebay, if the item doesn't work or is different than described, you can get a refund.
There's currently a fake FW going for a lot of money on GW that someone is going to be very upset with. Yes, it's the buyers ignorance for not knowing a fake from the original, but on ebay that would not fly and you'd get your money back. |
Candace, the "fake" featherweight was listed as an Alphasew machine, so they aren't trying to pass it off as a Featherweight. It's buyer beware, and whoever bids on this should be reading the whole posting beforehand.

I can't find anything on Google about the Featherlite Sewing Machine. I was looking at that one on Goodwill site, and am concerned about the missing nose. Does anyone know who the maker of these was?

I checked out this machine. If a buyer thinks they are getting a FeatherWEIGHT, they haven't done their research. This machine looks nothing like the FW and is a pretty blue/turq. It looks very close to a child's machine but more sturdy. It's very very cute and desc. states that it looks barely used.
