I have 3. Little Abby is with me right now. I took her to Texas and worked on my Raspberry/Chocolate blocks. She sews like a dream. The other 2 I bought at a yard sale. I have only sewn on one of those because one needs a new belt.
I found Wine Woman one on craigslist and she loves it. A word of caution though...they are addictive though! :lol:

I found one, a centennial, for $200 on Craig's List! My first CL purchase. Now that I got it, I don't know what to do with it. LOL Maybe after W2 season is done, I will put it on the dining room table and piece with it. My sewing room is upstairs and gets cold in the winter.

I bought one a few month on ebay for $180. It was part of an estate sale. I happened to be Mfg the year I was born. It was a steal. Love it. Just needed some minor cleaning, it was in great shape, sent it in for a tune-up.

I got a call today from one of my charity quilting buddies, she was standing in our favorite thrift shop (they support our charity quilting with an annual stipend) with one hand on the machine and the other calling me from her cell phone. A complete Featherweight, with original manual, and folding table. 1951 Singer Featherweight $100 I am in heaven. Quilting friends are the best!

I finally was able to devote some time to cleaning, oiling and testing this cute little machine today. I read through many of the links found on this board for directions. Required only minor tightening of the bobbin case tension and it sews beautiful! So yes, I can officially report that this $100 investment sews like a dream. Merry Christmas to me!!
