Hello All,

So I just bought a sewing machine earlier from a guy who used to work for singers in the 1990s.
gave me some pointers about the machine, which was not a singer.

During the exchange, I asked him why the USA did not get the free arm featherweight?
He says. "The US consumers did not want it. Not only that, I had to convert the motors of featherweight from overseas to get them to work here in the USA.
He also mentions that the White Featherweights are built differently.

I asked him the specifics as to how different. He says from the layouts of the gears and the internal parts. It is not the same as the black one.

Here's is the interesting parts, he says "I would rather have the black one then the white as the white has more reliability issues than black."

Can anybody confirm this? I only have the black featherweight and not the white.

Oh btw, the seller loves the slant machines of singers.
