I am looking at 4 VERY RARE items in the mix that would sell for the amount of a Featherweight by themselves. I might would have to toss the bank at this one! You could bid up to $1200 and still make good money reselling the items individually, and I ship international.

Hell I'm in!

They only want $65 obo. I already emailed them but haven't heard back. If it is I will be sooo excited to find one and get it you wouldn't believe. They didn't give numbers or anything to date it, just a picture.Thanks.

301 straight stitch. I prefer this one over the Feather weight. It is light enough to take along but it is a full size machine. Very nice!

I will agree, with the 301 you can make an entire quilt start to finish with no problem. But the Featherweights are limited on what you can do. They are perfect for taking to guild meetings and using to piece blocks together but when it gets to the nitty gritty the 301 is far superior.

Beautiful machine and cabinet! That cabinet is one of my favorites.

Just thought I'd share one of my birthday presents from my son, this Hand Pinker along with a Buttonhole Attachment.

That's something I have never seen before. Does it 'pink' the fabric edges - like pinking shears? Sounds interesting!

Hello all!

I just came across a Singer 501a that a guy pulled out of the barn he is cleaning out. Does that machine take cams? It looks like it should take cams. If the 501a does need cams there are none with the machine. The machine is in good shape, but the cabinet is pretty bad.

He wanted me to make an offer on this machine.

Should I get the 501a? I know nothing about the newer old machines! How old are the 501a's?

Help!

Nancy
