HI, I want to join the club, too. I have the featherweight bug, bad! I have 4 black ones, a white/celery one and love the big sister 301's, too. I have a black 301, a long bed tan 301 and a LBOW 301. i use my 1936 black 221 the most, just a simple, beautiful machine. It's funny because they are all a little different. I do have a question about the tension. Does anyone find that their upper tension is tight, even when it's set loose. I have the NJS book and have taken all the tensions apart and re-adjusted them. Some just seem tight and the thread pulls stiffly when removing the work. Any thoughts or solutions?
Thanks,
Jane
