Oh man, I just talked to a 81 yo man from CA who has five, yes 5, FWs!!!!! He is selling all of them!! AND he has a 222K. He said all are in perfect condition!! His wife is a master hand quilter who teaches classes. He was super nice!

Why am I not rich? He wants $500 for the 221 and $975 for the 222K. :( with tears!

Edit: He has 3 origiinal FW cabinets, too!

Another Edit: I meant for this to be in Main, not Classifieds but in my amazement, I goofed!

Good lord! Who can afford that now day's. Prices r getting ridiculous! Some of us could really use them but like me live on disability! And most like me donate most of their crafts to charity!! Sad! :(

$975.00...seriously!
Keep looking, you'll find one. I'm wishing you good luck.

Just outta curiosity -- where in CA? There is a guy in Santa Rosa I believe who not only buys them but he restores and custom paints them. Featherweights are big here and the prices are steep. I know a quilter (we used to be best buds at one time) who now has 13 of them! She said she wanted each one of her 6 granddaughters to have one. Obviously she's gotten carried away and I think a bit greedy. I wish you luck in finding one.

Actually, 975$ for a 222 is a good price.

No way too pricey. Keep shopping still many super nice ones to be had in my area for $200 with a little patience.

Diff too high...ck out ebay they go anywhere from 150-330 and they have many on there...Also try Goodwill.com always one or two on there.

Sad but true. But the $500 for 221s is steep unless they are special badges or reconditioned to perfection.

There were many FW's at Cincinnati quilt festival. All fixed up and shiny and at least $425.
