Congratulations! I am looking for a deal still.

Good for you. You will love it. I inherited a Featherweight when my Mom died 4 years ago. She got it from an aunt who never married, a professional woman, who hardly ever sewed. She was Mr. Bristol's of Bristol-Meyers personnal secretary (1940's 'till 1970's). If sewing machines could talk! (It came with all the attachments).
Thank you Great Aunt Leo.

Were you at Bargain Bill's ? i got a small singer at a thrift store it weigh's a ton, took some sewing oil to get the bobbin out, who ever owned used it for a wool felt machine, not to nice to the bobbin - but with tweeters, I got it running. I just love looking at it. I also live in Delaware. ;-)

oh you did great!! What year is Edna?

LUCKY! I have heard so much about them on here, I sure would like to find one! I have a Singer that was my Aunt's. Runs like a dream. It is in a wooden case. Then I have my grandmother's treadle, my MIL Necci, and my Husqvarna. Don't know if DH would let me get another, only 2 work to the fullest. We're working on the other 2.

I also found a featherweight at a flea market. Runs like a dream. I had a gentleman clean and lube mine prior to sewing and he said it was in very good shape. However, I paid alittle more than $60 for mine, and still felt like I got a good deal. The quality of the stitching is just georgous. I pray that those of you fortunate enough to have one enjoy yours as much as I do!

Debo 07-22-2010 12:00 PM

Great price! You'll love your new little lady. They just purr when you sew.

Dee 07-22-2010 08:12 PM

Have fun with your new baby Edna.

walen 07-22-2010 08:16 PM

You lucky girl! I wish I could score like that!

Not really sure, The guy rescues old machines, and apparently Edna was close to a gonner. There had been alot of corrosion and her serial # is gone. I've compared her to some on ebay and I think shes from 1930"s.
