Well, I have finally.........
 

joined the Feather weight club. I have been drooling over the pics of beautiful machines some of you have gotten, and I ended up buying a Singer 221K on ebay for $230.00. I hope that is a good price.
It came with a case (in decent shape), many attachments, foot control, and bobbins. When I got it I tried it out and it sewed very slow. My DH oiled and cleaned it, but it still ran slow, so took it to my Singer dealer and after a couple of trips over there, we determined that it had an incorrect size spring in the motor. He changed it out for me and now she runs like a champ.
I emailed the seller I bought it from and told him of the issues I had with it, and he refunded $30.00 which is what I had to pay the Singer dealer. So, color me HAPPY:thumbup:.

I named her "Lily" after my youngest DGD because she is so tiny and quite the spitfire!!

"Lily" is lovely. You have done very well. She is adorable.

You will love her!

Welcome to the club. You will have lots of fun with her.

Your purchase price was very fair and getting a $30 refund - even better! Wishing you many happy times with Lily!! I love my featherweights - all three of them!!

Congrats on the newest family member...lol. Enjoy.

Welcome to the club! :)

Doing the happy dance for you, you got a fair price and the refund was great also. Lily is lovely you will love her I love all of mine.

oh pretty Lily is....glad she has a nice new home!

Wonderful! You are fortunate to have found a repair man who could diagnose Lily's problem. Have fun with her. Now do you need to find vintage machines to name after each of your other grand kids? I think so!
