Your right what was he thinking...Someone just linked me to a site that sells parts for featherweights...www.april1930s.com

Wow, that is amazing. Nothing like that, but I received a bundle of fabric from someone wrapped in a garbage covered with tape....that was a first as well.

You are very lucky!!

Holy Cow! That is almost laughable! Just seeing it taped up like that is ridiculous! Someone could of stolen it seeing it was a FW. I hope it was insured and you had to sign for it! I don't believe a PO or UPS would allow something to be shipped like that! I am happy you recieved it without the case being damaged! I hope the tape came off easily! She is a beauty and I know you can get the things you need for her. ! have a site that sells stuff for FW if you need.

I can't believe that someone would ship a FW like that! Did the tape come off the case with NO problems? I'm glad that your FW made the trip in good condition. Enjoy your BEAUTY!!

Very lucky to have gotten it at all. If someone really knew what was in there that what it is worth could have just walked off with it. Boxes aren't that hard to find. Enjoy

i have never seen anything so ridiculous! I'm glad everything is OK. I KNOW you will enjoy her! I have dealt with the April 1930's website that people have mentioned - very helpful and quick, great to deal with! I even found a walking foot for my FW (Baby is her name!) on the April 1930's site!
