Singer Featherweight
#1
I have signed up at my LQS for "The Cleaning and Care of Your Singer Featherweight Class." It is a 4 hour class that is hands on. The FW will be disassembled, cleaned, oiled lubricated. Emphasis will be on the bobbin area showing where threads collect and the importance of cleaning the needle plate area on a regular basis. They will also teach how to give my FW a protective finish and clean up a case that has an odor. It is $55. What do you think? I bought it about 6 weeks ago and have not had it "tuned up."
I think I have attached a picture of my "Penny" named after the friend who sold it to me.

Penny is beautiful. I would love to get a Featherweight.
I think that is a wonderful idea for a class. Good luck!
Keep us informed. I have 2 vintage Singers now, possibly getting another tomorrow. None are featherweights though.
Penny definitely had an owner that loved her! :) :)

Taking the class hands on would be great. Click on this and scroll down to the DVD that Dave made to help fellow featherweight owners. I got these and they are great, explains everything and is so handy when a question comes up.
I guess you need to copy and paste to get this.
