Wanting a Featherweight...tips on where to buy so I don't buy a lemon?
I have a Pfaff 2030 that should be a great machine but just bugs me with little things. I really like old machines--bought a lovely Graybar in a cabinet off Craigslist for a song, but unfortunately after only one project the motor went bad (and my local guy who I trust can't promise a fix).
I've seen the Featherweight images and read stories about them for years. I would love one, but I want one that's already been vetted--restored or in very good condition, good motor, attachments, etc.
I'm in Seattle but willing to have something shipped or to drive a bit if needed. Any tips on how not to get a bad one would be most welcome.
I do small quilts and household sewing.
