I have made two cat beds with left over poly batting. Works well, though mine came out a little lumpy. I didn't care since they are for my own cats (who only use then occasionally).

I saw a Featherweight listed in an estate sale ad, but it was too far away from where I live. I didn't see what it was going for since the price wasn't posted, but I've seen them listed in the...

I figured out the tension issue. It was the bobbin itself, not the crude in the race. I just used a bobbin that came with the machine that has some thread on it. I did rethread the machine,...
