featherweight questions
I've got a lead on a CL Featherweight, and will be going to see it--and hopefully bring it home!--today or tomorrow. According to the ad, it has its "original box, tray, manual and extras." Besides the machine and foot pedal, the pictures show the case, tray with misc stuff in it, and manual.
The case will be nice to have, but as long as the machine works, I don't care about the extras. But it did get me to wondering, what sort of extras originally came with the Featherweight? Were there extra extras available after that? (Like, buy the machine and it comes with Stuff A, but you could also buy other Stuff for it after that, if that makes sense.) I know about the penguin walking foot, but were there any other attachments meant specifically for it?
Also, I think I know that the bobbins are specific to the machine-am I right? Which means if there isn't one in the machine or the tray, my Class 15 bobbins won't fit? I'd like to test-sew it before I buy it, if I can.
Any other advice, or something I haven't thought of? This will be my first Featherweight, but my Nth old machine.
