    Nancy was born June 26, 1947
    Here she is with all her accessories.
    Only thing missing is the instruction book which I will buy a repro copy.
    She runs smooth as silk. Nine attachments, some of which I have no clue what they are used for. Case has some wear but overall in decent condition.... and the machine is nice and clean.

    Nancy

    Hello Nancy! Someday I hope to have one of your "cousins" living with me. Congrats on finding a loving home.

    Congrats! Featherweights are awesome - I'm sure you'll love it!

    If you didn't already buy a manual, I think I've got a PDF I can send you. I found one for free on the internet. Not sure if it's on this pc or my work one, but I'll check it out. If you want a copy, send me a PM with your email address.

    Edit:
    There are free downloads on Singer's website if you want it right away. I can still send, but it must be on my work pc.

    And the book mentioned above is great. Cover's maintenance and historical stuff. Interesting!

    You might consider buying the book Featherweight 221 - The Perfect Portable: And Its Stitches Across History, Expanded Third Edition: Nancy Johnson-Srebro. It will give you a copy of the manual plus all kinds of other information about the featherweight. It's a great book for featherweight owners.

    "And ain't she purdy". How do you know the year she was born? I just got a Featherweight today but don't know when she was born.
