I had been watching several Featherweights and 301's on E-Bay but they were so expensive, as well as the shipping costs plus I really wanted to "see" what I was buying up close and personal. So I went to Craigs List and found listings for 3 possibles. They weren't Featherweights but they were vintage. I made appointments and went to see all three Saturday. The first two were real duds but the last was a treasure. I got the machine in the cabinet, all the attachments, two manuals, the buttonholer with templates and 50 assorted Singer needles for only $50. The machine was purchased new in 1948 by the sellers great aunt and you can tell it was well taken care of. So I have named her "Louise" after the original owner. She is only 4 years younger than me so we can age gracefully together!! And she sews like a dream!!
