Oh, I have, too! I picked it up and carried it around with me. I wouldn't even let the lady running the sale hold it for me! I figured it was the only way to make sure I got it.

Woohoo! Success! Since it was rainy today and I couldn't go out to the neighborhood garage sale, I made it sewing machine day. I got the Rocketeer out of the Tutto and set it up to see how my new OSMG did. It just purrs! So next up was the new white FW. I set it up used a wound bobbin from my black FW, put in a new needle, threaded it and put fabric under the foot. It just purrs right along and makes a perfect stitch. I'm so happy with it.
The orange belt has to go because it's way too ugly to be on such a cute machine

Happy you found your little jewel...I was at a garage sale years ago, the garage was packed...with things, I happened to stump my toe on something, looked down and saw this green case...I knew immediately what it was, I have my mother's black featherweight...I ask the lady if it was for sale, she said yes!! it's $25. needless to say, I didn't waste anytime taking that up and paying for it...it has always sewed like a charm...I get them both down every now and then and oil and clean them up...when my daughter comes to sew with me, she uses the black one...loves it...so congrats on your find...

BTW, my husband said tonight "That machine was worth $50 even if it didn't work. I would have just put it on the shelf". Even guys think they are cute!
