Featherweight clone?

A very interesting posting on CL, it looks like a featherweight with matching case...but no Singer logo and manual says "The Quilter Portable 1 Lightweight Sewing machine" Seller is very emphatic that "It is not a Singer"...then it is not worth $175 (is my thought) lol

It looks like a FW to me along with the case. someone could have gotten a manual thinking that it was right. I would not pay the 175 tho. I would talk them down to may be 125.

If you can look at it it would have simanco stamped on the bottom and also a serial # stamped on a retanguler piece under the machine on one end. Then it would be for sure a singer even if the seller says no. I wouldn't argue, but buy as cheap as can and have many happy hours sewing with it.

It is an Alphasew PFW221, made in China Featherweight "replica". I probably wouldn't pay near-Featherweight prices for one.

Yup. Me either.

Not worth bringing home. I paid $300 for that opinion. Finally gave it to my brother to sell at the flea market. Think he got $60. It never sewed straight, was noisy, and the tension assembly actually fell out of the machine.

And they are selling this for $450 at sew4less???

Who would pay that much for one of these?

Love the 90-day warranty.

Also how they say it is not the same stitch quality as featherweight..that would really make me want to buy it...not!

I expect a 90 year warranty these days!!

That means it was designed to last exactly 91 days and no more :thumbdown:
