Long Awaited FW is HOME! ;-)
My long awaited Featherweight has finally arrived! In my opinion she is a beauty!! She is a 1937 in really great shape!! Case is in rough shape but I knew that, and I'm not worried about it. The FW is the main event for me!
I may have to purchase a regular stitch foot as it is not on the machine, however it is advertised. May have to contact the seller, it may have been removed.
I haven't threaded the machine yet but have plugged it in and the motor sounds nice and quiet. However, the feed dogs seem to be recessed... I am now fearing that the machine actually does NOT sew.... 'runs beautifully' is much different than 'sews beautifully'. I am going to put in a new needle and a bobbin and see if I can make it actually sew.
In the meantime, here are a couple of photos of my new baby.
