Welcome to the FW club! I have four of the little darlings, and I got 2 new cases for a couple of them, and I refinished the 3ed case. The 4th case was fine so no problem there. I have one black one left and 3 repainted ones. They have a wonderful stitch. I also got the book and DVD on how to care for and fix any problems with your machines, by David R. McCallum, Those fantastic Featherweights, and the Featherweight 221 and I. Like having him right with you and the best part is you can rewind him, LOLEnjoy your new FW and happy quilting!
