Makes me sick now to see everyone buying these beautiful machines.

I joined today too! I called a sewing machine repair shop in Bloomington and asked if they had any featherweights, and he said he had one. I went there and instantly fell in love with the little machine. It is a 1939 featherweight 221. I just love it! Congratulations on you new little machine. We are both blessed to get one.
I also told my hubby to watch out for them at yard sales!
