featherweight wool felt pads
 

Does anyone have any information about the QB member that was making the different colored felt pads? I believe she/he said they would be available for sale. I want to order some.

Need a couple myself. . . . .ones under featherweights are soggy.

PM me if you're interested. I make them in different colors:> If you mean the bobbin spool protectors that is...

What about the large pads that go in the bottom of the Featherweight?

Those can be had from Sew-Classic: http://www.shop.sew-classic.com/Drip...ight-45811.htm
And other places too.

I BOUGHT THEM FROM CANDACE THEY WERE GREAT I THINK I BOUGHT 7 OF THEM IN DIFFERENT COLORS FOR ALL MY MACHINES. YOU WILL LOVE THEM LINDA FROM RHODE ISLAND:thumbup:

I bought 10 of the spool felt pads from Candace too and they are perfect. Got some of all colors to match my machines!!!!!

Glad you guys like them:>

I just bought some felt squares and traced them out and cut - like the different colors, too.

I just got my first featherweight yesterday...have to clean it up and hopefully get rid of the musty smell. Can I cut my own wool felt drip pad or is there something special about the purchased ones? I'm very excited about her and have already been sewing with her. Is that a mistake, since I don't know when she was last cleaned and oiled?

If you can remove the old drip pad (some have been glued down and will not come out in one piece) you can use it as a template and cut your own. But, I've purchase mine in the past as they're only a few bucks. I bought them from either Sew Classic or April's 30's shop.

You really ought to oil it and lube it per the manual if you have no idea when it was last done.
