I bought a featherweight machine at Goodwill for $25.00 It needs a new lift lever and a bobbin case.
This is a second machine for me and was thinking of fixing and selling it but was horrified at how
much the "original" bobbin cases are. I have seen reproduction ones that say they will work.
What is the real scoop on these? Do they work? They are half the price of the "originals" and
I would prefer to not have to pay such a high price. Any help is appreciated.

If you are planning on selling it put in original parts and adjust your price accordingly.

I have heard that both replacement bobbin cases and bobbins are not as good as the originals. i would contact the featherweight shop site and ask their opinion.

The FW Shop have a new Bobbin Case for the FW which is guaranteed to work in all Featherweights

I'm also with juliasb about fitting original parts if possible.

I didn't have to replace that part on my own machine but still cost a pretty penny to return machine to new working condition so wouldn't make reselling viable imo.
