$400.00 is way too much money for a featherweight. Do not oat that. You should get one for around $ 200.00. No more. Accesories,book and everything should be with it. ALSO should be in mint cndition. Hope this helps.

I took the snap-on foot off my old singer and it works great on my FW with all of the snap on feet. $400. is a bit high but then they are going up in price. Still some nice ones out there for $250.-300.

I tried the one with the little edge guide too, only it soes not sew a scant 1/4 seam. I still prefer vintage parts for vintage machines. The gauge presser foot (find it on ebay and expect to pay about 50 to 75 dollars for it)is the best because you can add the bars at the back for the guide, the foot is narrow, and totally adjustable. Otherwise tape works fine, but in the long run can damage the vintage surface of a featherweight and thus hurt the value.:)

Because my Patchwork class is for newbies what I have suggested for the non computerized machines is to use this: http://www.nancysnotions.com/product...tionalViews.do it works a treat, can't use it on computerized machines but on my old Singer, magic
