I'm looking on Craigslist all the time for stuff...
I see the price of Featherweights have doubled, Treadles are about the same...there are some good Kenmores/Singers and such...
But looking at these machines, the harp or throat size is so large. What a wonderful area to quilt.
When did the harp/throat size get smaller? When things went "portable"?
And the detail and painting on these machines? They can be compared to the fine details on a restored pin stripe car!!!
I never knew the Feather Weights had different end plates...one was more solid and the other a fancy scrolled deal.
How fun I have been having looking at the older machines...
Any one have any info on any of them and where to look?
