Ok I feel a little guilty, but not really guilty! I bought another Featherweight over the weekend. It is in perfect shape, a 1951 Centennial with all the attachments, a manual, a zig zag attachment, and a blind hem attachment - for - are you ready - $50! I saw the little black box sitting in the drive way - knew immediately what it was. My DH asked how much they wanted for the little sewing machine and the lady said $50. DH paid the $50 and we took the machine home. I didn't take it out of the box until we got home - I was afraid someone there would see it! So I didn't know until we got home and lifted the machine out that it was a Centennial! I couldn't believe my luck! So I am giving a friend one of my FW's - to ease my guilt - cause she loaned her FW to an older lady who wanted to start sewing again after years of not sewing. This lady had never used any sewing machine but a FW. I really thought buying a FW at a yard sale was a thing of the past!
