Happy Me - looking at a Featherweight after work
 

I'm super excited. I found a Featherweight on my local craigslist and have made an appointment to look at it after work :-). Fingers crossed that it works! I've been wanting one for years. I've already got a 301a that sews great, a Singer FashionMate 237 from the 60's, and a 15-91 (?) that I need to have the wiring checked before I sew. I love vintage Singers.

Happy sewing!

I gave my granddaughter a Singer 401A and kept the 237.

I felt a little guilty keeping the easier one to use - but not THAT guilty.

Good luck with getting a FW!

Good luck!!!!!!!!!

Score! I tested it out and it sewed. I'm naming it Louise - my maternal Grandma, Dorothy Louise. My 301 is named Dorothy after her as well. I'm so happy to join the Featherweight club :-).

Yeah! Join the club. How about a picture!

I'll take one tonight. I didn't get to use Louise last night as I had to finish hemming something for a friend and needed my blind hem stitch. I'm so looking forward to using her!

Congrats, and welcome to the club! Happy stitching!

I have two and love them dearly.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Enjoy the FW experience!!

Yayyyyy for you!!!

I am green, I want one but it will have to wait awhile. SS doesn't go far today with food and gas so high.

Welcome to the FW Club-you will enjoy her!!

You can not stop with just one ,,,,,,she will be lonely.Happy for you. Mimi

Meet Louise
 

Introducing Louise! She is a 221-1, born in early 1951 (serial # was reserved in January, next batch was reserved in May) at Singer's Elizabethport factory in Elizabeth, NJ. She came with a case and a box of accessories for a 301 (my Dorothy can use them!). Her # is AK106329. She proudly wears the "A Century of Sewing Service" centennial badge.

Score!!

I need to do something with mine. I just don't know where my life is going! (probably has something to do with sitting in front of this computer . . hmmm . . . ;0))

love the centennial badge!

The box of accessories are for the featherweight. If you look at your manual it will tell you how to use them.

The box specifically said "301" on it and is identical to the box I have for my 301. The feet all seem to fit the 301 instead of the FW - I tried :-).
