Finally, I won the bid on a Featherweight!! Yeahhhhh! I'm so excited. I had to settle for an uhealthy one though, she has a few issues, like a broken thread uptake lever and is missing the bobbin case and of course she needs a new belt. But, I have been looking on ebay and have found all three. I also ordered another machine that has been stripped of the external parts hoping that if she needs anything else I can take it from him. I have her she is beautiful even with her flaws. She was created on Feb 18, 1946 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, so I think I'll call her Lizzie. I just hope I can get her back to health! I'll post pics as soon as I gert her cleaned up.

Featherweights are so cute and they make some of the best stiches ever. I use mine all the time. Enjoy!
