I took my mother's Stylist to Cathey's Vac and Sew (www.catheys.com) on Speedway about a year ago, and they repaired it nicely. They have an experienced repairman and seem interested in the vintage machines. You might call them in advance to see if they like working on Featherweights!

It is an intermittent problem of skipping stitches and sometimes the needle strikes the throatplate. I haven't had a chance to change the needle, which I am hoping is the problem. I was able to fix the problem I had with the bobbin winder.
I also noticed some stray threads wedged in/around the bobbin case. I tried to grab and pull them out with a tweezer, but was not succesful. I would also like it to have a deep cleaning and lube.

If you have the owners manual it will walk you through the oil and lube. You can get the manual on line for free if you don't have it. Buy singer oil and grease. Don't use 3 in one.
Getting all the thread out of bobbin area is very important. There may even be a video on the net. FW were made so the owner could take care of them.
