Hello Ladies,
I am new to this forum and would like to add a comment about the FREE featherweight machine. Yes, that is a FIND! Quilters prize them for the consistently straight stitch and easy portability. I have seen them listed on e-Bay for as much as $1,000. But that one had a free arm, which is rare. If you are interested, you can get the serial number off the back and look on the Singer website where you can find what year it was made, where, and how many were made. Enjoy your find!
