I was lucky enough to win the bid on this featherweight for $120.99. It badly needed physical restoration, though it ran fine. DH spent the week stripping, painting and putting new decals on it-did a pretty good job, I'd say. But-in the end, it did cost almost as much as if I'd just paid the regular going price! Still working on refurbing the case.

oooooooo.......beautiful!!!!! :thumbup:

WOW!!! Nice job DH!!! It's beautiful!!

(good job, hubby!)

Wow great job!

WOW - she cleaned up very nicely and is now a true beauty

so glad that you 'brought her back to life' - she's a beauty. Many happy sewing hours are ahead of you, that's for sure! Tell DH he did a wonderful job!

Just look at it this way ~ you just rescued another Featherweight from a parts bin or landfill and she is beautiful now. Great Job.

great job and good for you and hubby for the rescue

Great that you "saved" this little machine,it would have been so sad to see this in the dump! Enjoy her!

Where do you get decals for restoring sewing machines!? I would be interested in some.

Wonderful job!!!!!!!!!!! Tell DH we all think he's the best!! :D:D
Have fun with her!!!!!!!!! :D:D

What a great save for the poor thing, no longer an abused child. Better hang onto that hubby, he did a wonderful job.

Great job. My new FW has wear on the front. Tell me how to make it spiffy.

Actually-I threw away the receipt and the packaging-but-I just googled to find them-ebay had many and there were many other sites. I paid around $18 for them. They were water-slide decals. After stripping, painting and applying decals, my husband applied several coats of clear coat also, to protect them.

This is sooo nice!

Wow...your DH did a great job!

You have to be happy and now it has special memories of the retoration. Good for you and enjoy sewing.

Beautiful! What a sweet (and skilled) hubby. :)

You DH did a great job. Now the little FW has a new home!

That little machine is thanking you.
It looks wonderful.

Wouldn't be as rewarding if you had not gone this route. Now every time you look at it, you will think how much your DH LOVES YOU!! He did a beautiful job. Lucky you on both counts.

That is one beautiful restoration. Congrats to hubby!
