Several years ago I got a FW that didn't have a case. That was before all kinds of machine cases were available.
So went to the Goodwill Store and bought a bowling ball bag. Took the metal rack out of it. The FW fits perfectly and is easy to carry and doesn't take up as much space as the rectangular one. |
cool idea, now everyone will be rushing to the thrift stores to buy a bowling bag case
|
wow great idea.I have 2 without a case
|
great idea, I've got a case, but the less the weight, the better for my back!
|
Thanks for the tip.

Excellent tip :D:D:D

What a good idea! I just went to a local quilt show and there was a couple there selling some featherweights and some separate bags to use without the original case. They came in black or red and had handles and a shoulder strap. But they were $55.00!!! Bet the bowling bag was a much better buy.

Here are some photos of the case I use for my Featherweights. It was a salemens case for selling TIME magazine. They have pockets in the end and the Featherweight fits in it perfect. I Embroidered on a piece of the stiff felt and glued it over the TIME on the case. I have sold several of these and I find them all at the thrifts stores. They are getting a little harder to find. I have only three of them left.

I saw some cases at the restore that had stereo equipment in them and were padded with the eggshell stuff. really excited me at first because they looked just like a featherweight case. bet they would work well also.
