    If they are in good shape, and complete with accessories, she can absolutely sell them for $350+ each. I've sold more than a dozen of them all in the $400-$500 range.

    It didn't have a lot of accessories, but there was a snap on ankle with an all purpose foot, special purpose foot and a zipper foot, a blind stitch guide, and a raising plate in order to do FM work....

    The topic isn't about a "regular" old Featherwight, though, it is about the 222. Those sell for 2x-3x as much as the 221.

    Nice little machines. They don't have the glamour quotient of a Featherweight, but are sturdy, solid machines that can sew just about anything.

    I picked it because it looked easy for a first quilt - all the blocks are the same, two rectangles to make a square, what could be easier than that? Of course there are the triangle fills on the...

    Well I have thought about using a multiple zigzag stitch (three stitches in each direction) because that would be similar to what you're saying, and it would also echo the whole zigzag motif of the...

    Each block is 8"x8", so I'm thinking if I sew at least once across each block, that falls within the 4"-6" allowance.

    So you think it would look fine to just stitch straight across the border? I'm...

    FIRST quilt, need a little advice

    I've quilted many small items - table runners, placemats, hot pads, tote bags, that kind of thing - but I've never made a quilt of any size until now. It is basted and ready to quilt, and I figure...

    I don't think there was any moment in time where they "switched" from low to super high shank. In collecting vintage Kenmores, I've never found any rhyme or reason for which machine has which shank...

    "Rare" is a relative term, but as a collector of vintage Kenmores I can say that some models are harder to find than others. Try finding one of those 1060 "mini Kennies" and see just how rare they...
