I say go for it. I am still looking for my first FW score. If you happen to find an extra one (at a great price) during your search, please remember me.:D I'm not particular about the year. [ATTACH=CONFIG]479583[/ATTACH] |
I think it's a steal! I believe this machine is just about as close to a 221 as you can get....especially the price. My Mom has used a table like that for years....very user friendly.

Thanks for posting the picture of your '36 Featherweight! It's beautiful!

Well to everyone who responded, just wanted to let you know I went and got the little green machine and table today. It belonged to the sister of the lady I got it from. It is so pristine. She said her sister hardly ever used it. Included the manual and several sewing feet and the instruction booklet. Now I have 4 machines, a Janome Spec. Ed. 11,000, a Janome AQS, a Singer Featherweight and now my new little green Singer.
My husband will clean and oil it tomorrow. I plan on taking it to bee and use for quilt piecing. Now I need to give her a name. She seems to run well but I am having problems winding a bobbin. I loosen the wheel and engage the bobbin attachment but she does not spin. Will have my husband troubleshoot it tomorrow. So happy to have this new machine! |
I bought a 185 a few years ago cheap and eventually gave it to a charity group. It sewed great, but was extremely heavy for a 3/4 size machine. It is cute as a button, but transporting it to sew-ins was not easy, although I had the case. Instead I take my Singer 301 and occasionally the FW gets an outing.

I love your machine. It looks pristine! And what a great deal. I am going to get the little machine today. Where do you buy bobbins for it? Featherweight bobbins won't fit it?
