There is a light green/white FW, near Albany New York for only $300.00. That is less than the one that I bought on eBay and arrived with a broken spool pin. Here is the link for anyone who may be interested:

Looks in really nice shape and it has the carrying case, too.

You need to sit down and try sewing with the machines!! The FWs are the greatest little machines. It's like being a kid again and sewing with a toy, although they are much better than a toy. They are just so much fun to sew with and just purr along when working well.
You really got a good price on that last machine!!! What year is it? have you named your machines yet? Or haven't they talked to you yet to tell you what their names are? I also have 2 FWs and wouldn't trade them for anything!

I recently purchased 2 FW on EBay after many lost bids. The secret to getting the bid is to be there the last few minutes of the bid. My machines are in good clean condition and I'm super happy with them. One of the machines I gave to my daughter and grandchildren who all wanted a sewing machine. This my first post and would love to talk to people about how to use this website more to my advantage. I don't have access to a computer often and can only do what my IPad will allow me to do. I can seldom view videos. My email is [email protected] and I live in Hawaii.
Mahalo,

Jackie, congrats on getting the two FWs!! Your daughter and grandchildren will love using the one you gave them. How old are they? Have you named them yet? I've named mine, or at least one and the other one TOLD me her name. The FWs are a lot of fun to sew with. If I can help you here on the QB, I'd be glad to do so. Would you prefer hearing on your e-mail address? Do you know how to do the PMs? I know nothing about using IPads, as I just have a simple cell phone as well as my computer.

Jackie, contrats on your two featherweights. I have 4 featherweights and use them all the time. I know you will enjoy using them.

Hi,

I am a little excited. I bought a white Featherweight yesterday for $325. And it works! Has the case with it, and an original instruction book featuring the white machine. The only problem is that the wheel you loosen for bobbin winding keeps jiggling loose when sewing. So then I have to tighten it again and it sews maybe 10" then comes loose again. Any idea how to fix this? Otherwise it is good, I looked up the serial number, it is a 1963, the year we were married, so that is easy to remember. I have a black one that I got on our 28th anniversary, it is in super condition, a 1950.

If I can figure out how to post a photo I will add it on.

Boy! If I needed one, either of those would be nice to get. The first has so many extras!

PatsBeB Congratulations on your new little machine. I'm sure you will enjoy her a lot once you find out what you need to do to get it working right. Have you named her yet? I know that I really enjoy sewing with my FWs. They are great little machines. Enjoy!!!
