I did it. My second Featherweight!
I did it I I purchased my second Featherweight 221. Now it does need a general tune up and a few parts. A belt, and new tension parts are at the top of the list. These are things I can do pretty easily so as soon as the parts get here I am on a roll! She is a 1955 model year and the shaft moves up and down quietly. The tension is a mess but fixable. I haven't decided on a name as of this time but I am sure I will figure that one out soon enough. I figure I got a good price at $200 plus it was local. and dropped off to me! I am so excited. Having 2 girls here to choose from when I am quilting. I couldn't wait to share this with everyone here. Fraternal twins is what I have now. Great joy.
