By the way- if you''re set on buying a featherweight, don't fall for the line of it's tuned well because I know what a perfect stitch looks like. Anyone can fine tune a stitch if they take the time especially on a featherweight in good condition- they are one of the simplist machines to fine tune unless you are starting from a junk piece. Like I said we work with vintage machines and there are those who will sell you an as is which could be a big mistake and those who give you a song and dance about their dear little machine jacking the price up. Be careful and check your seller.
