What a sweetie! Congrats! My case smelled when I first got it. Someone's advice to me was this, and it worked! I put a bar of Dove soap in my case, and kept it shut for a week. It really helped! :) Good luck!

I use an old trucker's trick....when we would haul onions, and after unloading, we'd sprinkle Folger's coffee in the bed of the truck to get rid of the onion smell. So...sprinkle a few tablespoons of coffee in the case and close it up for a few days....vacuum it out and it should be fine!

According to a Featherweight book I have by Nancy Johnson-Srebro, the gaged plates were put on Featherweights begining in mid-1952. Don't you just love the featherweight machine. It is my favorite for straight stitch quilting/sewing.
