Yesterday, I drove to a flea market/antique mall in Ohio. I had seen an ad on Craig's list that they had a featherweight for sale. I spent close to 2 hours walking thru and looking at all the stuff that was there. Of course, I opened every sewing case and table and didn't see anything I wanted to invest time or money in. I did see the featherweight and it was a beauty! $375 too! Way out of my budget. Was missing some accessories and the manual. But I saw a little tan case and I had no idea what would be inside. I opened it and found this cutie! I know nothing about it, but for $5 I figured I had to have it. It is a Pfaff Princess and it is a crank machine. I figure it is a child's toy. It is a lot dirty and a little rusty. I will get around to cleaning it up later this afternoon.

How do you use a hand crank? I need both hands just to sew on a regular sewing machine.

I did a little searching on the internet and looks like it came out in the 50's.

I don't have any idea! It did come with a clamp bar to hold it to a table!!! I'm just going to clean it up and put it on top of the bookshelves that hold my fabrics.
