Featherweight sewing machines

I got one on Ebay also. paid $227 & haven't been able to sew on it yet. Replaced belt & feet & it will sew but the bobbin & tension messed up. I wish now I had paid more for one that was already serviced & sewing good.Be careful buying & ask questions!

I saw one yesterday on craigslist list for $1,000. That's way overpriced.
I just bought a 301 that looks like new in the cabinet with all the attachments and the stool for $75. I also bought a Singer 15-91 a few months back for $50 in the cabinet. Both of these I got at thrift stores.

I think cost really depends on the condition of the machine and what accessories come with it, as well as if it's got a scroll plate or a plate with the straight lines. The original color also makes a difference. I bought my black centennial edition for $250 about 10 years ago (before the economy took a nosedive). The only thing it needed was the footpedal rewired because of the small cracks in it, but that was due to age and not abuse. Good luck in your hunt. These are great little machines.
