    Crossstitcher,
    I'm sorry that your DH's family waited until the machine was in such poor condition to let him have it.

    I was at a charity quilt sew-in with my guild today and the Featherweights were well represented. There were 8 of them, 6 were black,1 white and 1 tan(mine). I should have asked everyone to put them all on one table so they could be photographed.

    Thanks Glenn for the info on refinishing a machine. I've told all of my friends that I'm looking for a 'boat anchor' machine so I can see what I can do with it. If I get one in that kind of condition, I can't do too much wrong with it, but still have one to practice on. My FWs and 99 are in too good of condition to mess with.

    This is a test and a test only.

    Jon, My husband said to tell you many thanks for the manual. Now if he can find a foot he will get it working I'm sure.
    Quilting with a friend keeps me in stitches.

    Jon, have we told you lately how VERY much we appreciate you?
    One day, you'll only be a memory for some people. Do your best to be a good one.

    1890's Davis HAVF alert!! Erie PA Still has some of its decorative painting and in a repairable treadle. Too high priced, though!

    Billy, glad to know you are doing better. Welcome back.
