I have waited far too long to acquire this machine and do not want to ruin it. Need advice from all the owners of featherweights and from Billy please? What should I do?
Read your manual - lots of good info - there is a thread about Featherweight machines on QB:

Here is one we cleaned up for my mother you can browse
http://www.quiltingboard.com/vintage...t-t174236.html I'm not sure we even posted about oiling the motor. There are some ports you can put a little grease into shown in the manual. Enjoy the links!
