Hoping I Get To Keep One of These Babies
 

These are two machines that my DH has totally refurbished, inside and out. I hope he lets me keep one for myself, it seems like it would be the only fair thing to do! Don't ya think.

Keeping my fingers crossed. I have wanted one for a long time, so will have to see how things go.

Both are gorgeous!!! I have a feeling you will get one so you might let him know which one it is you would like!

They are just beautiful I hope he lets you keep one!!!
May I ask what he used to shine them up so nice?

Keep the one in front. It is a little older and has the more elaborate face plate. You definitely deserve one!

I agree on keeping the front one. I also want to know how he got them so shiny. Will he share the secret with us?
Thanks.

He stripped these machines to bare metal, painted and finished them with a clear coat. I felt like I was driving a new car (LOL), when I was taking them for a test drive to be sure they were all timed correctly and sewed a good stitch.

I can tell you I'd have the front one or know the reason why. LOL Beautiful

You need the machine on the front. I so hope you get to keep it! Don't you love sewing on those Featherweights!

He did a great job and hope you get the one you want.

They are beautiful, you should get one, may be 2 ?????

Beautiful. I wish I liver closer to you so he could shine mine up and replace the scroll work on the bed. Keep the one in front for yourself.

Totallly drooling. Wish I could get one. Lucky lady. They are beauties. :):):)

If he repainted them how did he manage to salvage the decals? They are gorgeous. Can I have one? I would love a FW.

Both are beautiful.

I too would keep the one in front. prettier than the other. How did he keep the decals on it when he redid it?

Your DH is very talented! Make him his favorite dinner with dessert and then ask him for the machine with the fancy face plate!!!!! Good Luck!

He has to let you keep one. It was your idea to begin with.

So pretty!!!!!!

Oh my goodness! What a beautiful job:)! I denfinitely think you should have at least one! You are the quality control officer, so you should have a machine to compare to!

LOL, I love that reason Pat.

Thanks guys for all the comments. Verdict is still out, it is kinda like a mechanic that fixes cars: he usually fixes the cars at home last, because he knows he can get to it later.

Both babys are gorgeous - It looks like you have one pre WWII and one WWII or later. They both look new and I know my FW sews like a dream, so I'm sure they will too. Your DH does great looking work.

He did a great job. Do you help him find the machines in need or rehab?

Wow!! Those are GORGEOUS!!! If it was me, I wouldn't ask - I'd just take the one I wanted and say, "This is MINE!!!!":o

That's what I would do!

I'd give him a kiss and get all excited and say "Oh how wonderful! I always wanted twins!!! but twin featherweights is so much better - no potty training required!" You might end up with both of them.

KarenR, you have the right idea!! Take both and let him fix up two more since he does such a good job at it!

Wow! Very beautiful!

LOL. That is great! If my DH restored FWs he would have a hard time getting them away from me. He would probably have to pry them out of my cold dead hands!

Just remind him that marriage is a 50-50 partnership and your keeping your half. LOL Enjoy the new addition to your family.

They are beautiful
Of course it's only fair that you get to keep one..
He did a great job !!
