It was in great shape, even the case. Had a nice box of accesories and the manual. She had it priced at the repair shop and he told her $300 or even more. She just wanted it to go to someone who would use it and not list it on E Bay to make a big profit. I now own, "Miss Nancy", named for her former owner. Very little needs to be done and she sews like a dream, so straight and smooth. Now I know why everyone loves these! Sorry I don't have very
good luck with pictures, but y'all know what they look like. Yippee looking foreward to playing a little more this weekend. |
Doing the Happy Dance for you!! I hope you and Miss Nancy will be friends for a long time!!

I have 11 machines and only sewing on one of my featherweights, though I haven't named her yet.....mmmmmm she came from Colorado and was in someone's barn. Maybe Barney, but she's a girl so that's out.

What a blessing to make a new friend and come home with a Featherweight too.
Enjoy your new machine. They sure do sew a great stitch. Blessings, Sandi |
I found a featherweight too. I told my neighbor I was looking for one, and the next day there he was at my door with a beautiful fw in hand. The guy who had it wanted $80 for it--what a deal. Except it wouldn't sew and wouldn't turn on when I plugged it in. Thanks, but no thanks.
You did much better than I did. Congratulations! Pat and pups |
