Featherweight
#1
Is $300 too much to pay for a Singer Featherweight? It looks like it is in real good condition - I honestly don't know too much about them - as a matter of fact I just learned about featherweights after joining this board - I learned to sew on a treadle and an electric but have been living in the dark I suppose.

Just make sure it has all of it's working parts, mainly the bobbin case. I think that's a good price and they are easily cleaned and oiled up to get them running again. Good luck--I hope you get it!!

That is a fair price. In my part of Southern Ontario, I have noticed that Featherweights are not selling for quite as much lately. There were two on Kijiji (Canadian version of Craig's List) last night. One listed at $250 and one at $350. Sometimes it is just a matter of luck. I bought two Featherweights for $60 at an Estate sale. Our neighbour gave my daughter her mother's for free. I'm still hunting for a 222 Featherweight at a reasonable price.

I didn't pay quite as much for the one I bought about 1 1/2 years ago. It took a lot of searching and patience to find one with all the parts in good condition. If I had had $300 I would have gladly paid it, especially now since I got this one and use it all the time.
