Anything originally made for a FW (or sold by April 1930s IMHO) seems to be hugely over priced. For my FW I use the feed dog cover from the nearest Singer buttonholer. They were made for featherweight as well but cost a tenth of what you paid for the original cover. My 320k is an amazing machine but the feed dogs don't lower and the cover plate ("darning" plate) was missing, so when I'm sewing a button or doing FME (did it last night - amazing) out comes the cover from the $12.50 buttonholer. Same plate fits everything I've tried it on so far, including my "new" 1891 VS2.
