I went to a yard sale this morning and what was setting there in its case? A Singer Featherweight. How much I say, $75.00 she says. I'll take it. Why are you selling it so cheap? I just want to get rid of it.

Talk about a steal...and glad you were at the right place at the right time. Hope you enjoy your new partner.

Why is that considered cheap for a yard sale? What do they normally sell for...like on ebay?

Sorry, I'm ignorant.

Did you take it and run before she changed her mind? What a great deal. Have fun with your new sewing buddy.

BellaBoo 06-09-2011 10:59 AM

$75! You got a great deal. Even if you have to have a new motor it's a great deal. FW are the easiest machines to repair and never lose their value. Plus the are so darn cute and sew a perfect stitch. No one but a sewer understands the feeling of owning a FW.

I'm not familiar with Singer Featherweight machines..... but a quick Google has shown me just what a bargain you bagged. Many Congratulations! It's always so good to hear someone got themselves a great deal.

When will you be putting it up for sale? Maybe I could get a friend to take a look at it. She's in the Grand Haven area...are you near there? You could PM me, if you'd like.

MimiLinda 06-10-2011 03:17 AM

Congrats, you sure did find a great deal. Did you name her yet? Happy Quilting. :thumbup:

fabric whisperer 06-10-2011 03:20 AM

I would have scraped together pennies if I had to ~ what a deal! Congrats!

stitchengramie 06-10-2011 03:24 AM

Can you post a picture of your new sewing machine please. Is this a very good sewing machine? I have been trying to find an older sewing machine but I do not know what brand to look for and how much to pay for one.

Happy sewing with your new buddy,

star619 06-10-2011 03:24 AM

Good deal! Would you PM me regarding sale?
