YES, it flips up ! Oh Wow...... I know that "featherweights" are light weight, I just am not a very good judge of weights and I don't have a scale, or other reasons !

So being the scientifically minded person I am, I just picked up the Singer in one hand and a 5# bag of flour in the other and it seems to weigh slightly more than the bag of flour !!!!!

I needed to find this machine today for so many reasons, and not reasons that I needed another machine to sew on !

On 2nd thought it really doesn't matter....it is beautiful and I'm going to try her out this afternoon on some Dresden blades I cut yesterday......

If it weighs a little more than a bag of flour, it must be a featherweight-besides-301s come in a suit-case, fws come in an open from the top black case. Congrats!

You can tell by the SN. What is it and I'll look for you.
