You did very well on your find!!! I am running out of Featherweights and need to buy more of them. I have 3 quilt shops that I furnish repainted FW's and the Handcrank 66's to and they can not get enough of them. The 301's are going up and will be more that the FW's before long.

Be sure to post photos of her when you get her home so we all can revel in your find!!!

Deema, I hope you get it!!! Sounds like a good price and FWs are easy to maintain and fix up!!
Keep us posted :D:D

Good luck! It sounds like a great deal.

wow..I hope it is as good as it seems....for that money I would drive to go get it..hehehe

LOL If I didn't have two young kids who don't do so hot on a 6 hr return car trip...I WOULD! :lol:

No silly girl, I meant "I" would go get it...not you..ehhehehe
i would love to have one again...I lost mine in a move...stolen of course....I mean who just loses a sewing machine out of an entire 15,000 pounds of goods?

The most I've paid for a "broken" featherweight was $100,
the needle was in wrong and the bobbin case base's finger wasn't in between the throat plate springs. Its a beautiful machine that sews great and looks good too.

:lol: You're a funny lady. :D

Oh Jacquie - That is just awful! And that is just why, when we eventually get posted (Hubby is in the Canadian Forces), my machines and quilting supplies and fabric will ALL be packed in my car by ME (assuming my fabric supply doesn't outgrow my car by then, in which case, I will fill hubby's. :lol: )
