My dad found a FW at a yard sale about 4 years ago and didn't pay very much for it. My hubby knew I wanted one so paid my dad a fair price for it and gave it to me for Christmas this year. It is a 221 and was "born" in 1956, I have named her Ruthie, my mom's middle name. She always wanted a g'daughter named after her but never got one so.....she gets a "grandmachine".

I have a very dear friend who has bought several Featherweight sewing machines. Her husband cleans and repairs all machines and keeps a supply of belts and other accessories needed for repairs. If anyone is interested, please contact Nancy at [email protected].

"Baby" was born in the 60's also. But, she is the one I wanted. So glad to have gotten her.

It is the big sister to the FW and in my IMO the best of both worlds. You have the benefits of the FW in weight and portability, and then it is a full sized machine with drop feed dogs for FMQ. It uses the same bobbins, needles, and has the flip down bed.

I have one that I received when I was 14 (69 now). Year ago my parents tried to sell it and the card table at a moving sale and . . no one wanted it. When I found out, I grabbed it back real quick. I had forgotten all about it and had stored it in their attic for years. Still runs like a dream. I use it a lot for piecing.

I think I have one! I got a white one that needs some tlc and gave it to someone to look at it. That was about 2 1/2 months ago and haven't gotten it back yet. Hopefully soon!

I have a Featherweight that my honey bought me for Valentines Day this year. I love it. It sews so smooth and no problems at all.

I have one and it sews like a dream! Wouldn't get rid of it.
