    April you will have another Handcrank come down the pike before long and it will be cheaper and might even be nicer than the one you lost out on.

    When I read this the first thing that popped into my head was the two sisters on the "Waltons"

    Grandpa used to always go to semi court them for some of Pa Pa's Special Recipe.

    Thanks I appreciate your input, but I still have my heart set on the FW 221. I will check out the others, but I really think I'm going to hold out for a FW 221.

    I'm about a month behind on reading the posts (it's been a busy month) but I would like to put in my 2cents. If you want the featherweight to take with you places, the 301 might work just as well. It is a little bit bigger and weighs just a few pounds more. If you are looking for something small and compact that stores well, my son said that the 99 works well for him. The 99 comes in two different types of cases. One is the wooden Bentwood case and the other one is more of a suitcase case. I gave my 99 to him a few years ago (one in the suitcase type case) and he likes it because it is compact. I'm now looking for a 99 to make into a handcrank and asked him to trade for one of my other machines. He said he would only trade for one of my featherweights because they are small and compact.
