Jaw dropped to the floor when I saw the price!!! I completely agree that they are not going to gain much more value so use them instead of waiting for the $$$$ to escalate!! Shaking my head in disbelief!!

No problem here. I dont travel with a machine, which is the biggest selling point (to me) about a featherweight. I'll not say no if a nice one landed on my door for less than $200, but I would rather concentrate on full size machines.

I got mine for $25.00 so i guess I'm ahead of the curve...

yeah, this board is definitely made up of folks who are "ahead of the curve"

I agree with Muv. I have a FW and do sew on it every now and then but really, I really I dont think they are that great of a machine. Yes the machine is easy to take to class camping etc but I take my White peerless or the 28 HC. I have even taken my Jones CS. They are easy to use and give no trouble and the campers like to watch me use it.

She sure does a good job. Not only are all of the attachments there but she shows how to use them. I learned a few things too
