    I think many people here do not realize that Singer came out with a small, cheap, white plastic machine that they called the Featherweight. When the original poster mentioned that she had purchased this machine for $60, I suspected it might be that newer plastic one -- not a vintage white Featherweight.

    I myself have a vintage white Featherweight, and I would never say that machine is not worth fixing!

    Glad you got your machine fixed. It is a good little machine - I use mine for piecing, primarily. I generally hand quilt. When I machine quilt, I use a Viking - again an older machine, with a larger throat than any of the featherweights.

    It will take a little time to find your dream machine. Enjoy the search! 8-)
