I know to each his own, but I can't appreciate or justify collecting sewing machines...yet. The Board is so influential though, you dears.
But, I do love to collect seam rippers and scissors! Do you think I'm gearing up to collecting machines??????? Uh oh :?
I think you may be in trouble.... :lol:
lovelyl: I'd love to have a Featherweight, but I'm so afraid of getting scammed if I buy on eBay or an on-line place like that. Do these machines really cost 500-600 dollars? I wish I knew someone personally or have someone recommend a seller. I know, I know I don't need a FW, but something is calling me to consider one.
All the FW's do not cost $500-600. I only paid less than $200 for either one of mine(YES, I know I got a GREAT deal!!)
I bought my first FW on e-bay & have NO problems with it. Just make sure to check out the seller's reviews & return policy. I just purchased my second FW a few days ago & am anxiously awaiting her arrival along with her own FW card table, yeah!!! I'm still looking for a "white" and a "tan" FW!! Something that I can't afford right now, but am saving up for. I do keep my eyes open for them at all the antique and flea markets that my DH & I go to on the weekends. Now if any of you generous board members have either one of these wonderful machines just setting around and want a really great home for them I'll send you my addy, lol!! I'm just saying you never know, right?
