Do what your heart tells you to do

I see "granddaughters" in your signature line. If the price is reasonable, you could be setting them up with a beautiful machine. If that doesn't work for you, I'll make a trip up and get them for my granddaughters. Philadelphia to Ontario is doable.

After further description, I turned to her and said "We have to TALK!" I really don't need another sewing machine - even if it is a Featherweight. I have my grandmother's 201, my Pfaff 1222e, my Janome 4800 and my daughter's Janome (more basic) - as well as a Singer 99 coming home to me this spring from Thunder Bay. But I have wanted a FW to take to classes, etc. Plus I can't really afford one right now ... Someone please talk me through this! |
Sorry, no help here. Just bought my 12th machine - a 1938 221! But I NEEDED it!!! You do too!!
|
Sorry, you are talking to the wrong person---Go for it. Featherweights are great machines---And they are so darn cute!
|
sorry can't help you , I have always wanted a FW, but can't find one or can't afford the price.
|
No use asking this group for help with that.
|
Someone in my guild sent out an email that she had one for sale a few days ago. I'm guessing it didn't last long. When I bought mine the woman had two, but I only bought the one. Hubby encouraged me to get both, but I didn't see any reason to have two. That was years ago. As usual, he was right, of course.

They would be a terrific gift to give to your grand daughters and teach them how to use their own special machine. You will be not only giving them a great machine but also memories that they will have forever.
ps...;) ..if you get them and want to sell, I live closer than Philadelphia ....I'm just a little ways down the 401 from you :) |
