I got one! My Aunt Jane bought me a featherweight .She is a new one a 2010 model,but you'll never guess what she paid for it , 12.50 , yes twelve dollars and fifty cents!Can you believe it? I just can't believe it yet.I'm still looking for one of the old ones at a reasonable price,but I am tickled pink with this one!

Can you post a picture? :)

I'm sorry but don't know how,but when my dd comes home I'll get her to.

A 2010 featherweight for $12.50?

Yes,can you believe it!

I can't wait to see a pic. They are so cute!

Is this one of the reproduction Featherweights that someone posted about a couple of weeks ago? Maybe that is why it is a "2010"?

It would have to be but the one linked was something like $400.

Congrats! :thumbup: I have got to see this one. Amazing!!

Please tll us where she shops!!!!

Where did she find it?

Yea, where did she find something like that, so cheap. I want one of those too. I just recently got my first Featherweight and I love it. It was made in 1952. :thumbup:

She found them at a auction in a little town near me.She said they had a lot of them.Apparently found in a old warehouse.Some of them were locked up and wouldn't work,so they let her try them out and find a good one.I don't think they knew what they had.It isn't a old one it says2010 right on it. It has the Singer name on it also.It could be a reproduction,but if it is it's sure a good one

Wow, LUCKY YOU!

That is Fabulous!!! Congtrats :!: :!:

When I saw the post title that said "I got one" I knew exactly what this was going to be. Congratulations on the FW. Lucky you.

Congrats! Wish I had been there......

WOW....you got a real good deal on that machine. I was at the flea market this summer and someone was selling a feather weight for $50.00 that was in mint condition. I wanted to buy it but I didn't have enough cash to buy it. I am hoping to find one this summer at the flea market.

Sorry, I didn't realize they still made Featherweights of any kind in 2010.

Could it be the new Singer 118 Featherweight?

Singer has reused the name "featherweight", obviously to cash in on their earlier success. But this one looks nothing like the older machines. I hope it wasn't this one.

this is what I wondered...there is a company that is cloning the older FW tho

Woo Hoo!! Can't wait to see it :D:D:D

This is a reproduction and there have been threads about them. Not very positive threads, I'm afraid. But for $10 you can't go wrong. Just remember, it's not a REAL FW, it's a copy and not made of the same materials.

Katie, Does it look like othe one on the left??? That is a Featherweight!

Katie, again, Congrats! We are happy for you! I remember when I got my FW. I purchased her from a very nice man in Canada. His name is Norm, so I named her "Norma". That's because he was so nice to deal with and was so sweet. She is a workhorse for sure! She is a 1957 model only 4 yrs. younger than me. I love old things and really appreciate back in the day stuff. Enjoy your featherweight. Thanks for sharing! :)

Congrats on your great deal.

I'd love to see a picture too!!

Wow!!! THat is awesome!

should have bought them alllll up & sold them! She could have made her money back but what a find. I can't wait to see a pic of it.

Great deal. How thoughtful of her.

Actually, Today's Special on HSN is a Singer "Electronic" Featherweight. It is going for about $300. I like my old girl though. :)

Congrats on such a great deal!

I live in Ky. Give me a hint of where?

Pic please????? J J

Still no picture??? Whendo we get to see her???

wow congratulations

Congratulations! I know you'll enjoy it. I've never sewed on a Featherweight, but I've heard about them all my life (I'm fifty). I think my Grandmother had an antique one, but I'm not sure. I think my aunt probably has it now. I should ask her.

Yes, please post a picture. Would love to see it no matter how new or old it is.

They had them on HSN last night for $299.00, I think- they said they were around $400.00 normally. For $12.50, I think it would be OK- too bad when they started making Singer's out of plastic parts.

these machines are not to be confused with real,vintage Singer 221, Featherweights. 221 production stopped in 1960 or 64. NONE were made after that. the new company making these has bought the Singer name. these are white, I think. there are white 221, but so different from these. check out some Featherweight sites, please. no comparison in quality.

picture please
