LOL - Congratulations on your new Featherweight. The last garage sale that my husband and I went to where I purchased a machine cost him $8,000! We were at a moving sale for a quilter and she was selling her Gammill - I now own it.
I bought my first Featherweight from a lady in Southern California and my second one I picked up at a local garage sale - the lady was asking $125 for it and I didn't even check to see if it worked - the machine looked fine and the case was in good shape - I gave her the money, took the machine and RAN! lol
