Featherweight-What to look for or ask???
#21
Hi everyone. I purchased it for $150. Its a FW221,extremely clean and is shiny black, not crinkle, with all the decals intact. (Its not a k7.) It looks brand new! Bobbin area is super clean. Came with the original book, another book and many attachments including a buttonholer. The table has folding legs and a well with cover. Table needs a little TLC and polish. Case is in very good shape all but one broken hinge.
I tried to get pictures but my camera battery is dead, and my cell will not send my pix to my computer! I promise I will get pix to post as soon as I possibly can. Thanks again everyone. Jan

I'd say it's a deal.....kind of confusing though to just exactly what she really has. If it's crinkle, it's rare and expensive.
But the fact it comes with a table...even better! Hope you can send us updates/pictures to clarifying this soon.

Congratulations on getting the FW! It sure sounds like you were getting conflicting information from the seller (for instance, that information about original ivory color painted black??). Now that you have it, you can nail down all of the specifics on it. It certainly sounds like a good deal! Look in the box for a penguin walking foot - wouldn't that be the icing on the cake?

Spent today running back and forth to the spay/neuter clinic. Five months ago a cat somehow got into my attic and "left" me two gorgeous Siamese kittens. I think she had them and left a week later, due to the extreme heat up there. Its just a low crawl space. I'm in FL and it was probably at least 100 degrees up there then. Thru the furnace ductwork I heard them crying in distress. Called a young friend and she got up in there and found them. We found them on Mothers Day. They were just getting their eyes open. I raised them on a baby bottle. They are both sweet as candy and just beautiful... white with grey markings & beautiful blue eyes. One boy (Sammy) & one girl (Sissy.) I didn't need more animals but guess they need me! LOL So today the sewing machines and housework got no attention but the kitties now have their shots and surgeries. Forgot to say I went to a community sale on Saturday, and got a 1951 New Home machine, cabinet, book & accessories for $35.00. It badly needed cleaned and oiled but sews a great stitch. Doesn't compare to the beauty and shape of the Featherweight but still a fun old machine and for the price I couldn't resist! I must get this picture problem solved- hopefully this week.
