As promised, here are the pictures of my featherweight that my brother gifted to me.

It came with two boxes of feets, yes TWO! I believe one is for 301 series. Athough it looks very familiar to each other.

Is this normal? One side is shorter than other.

She's certainly pretty and shiny! Congratulations and have fun with her!

dkabasketlady 09-17-2010 07:34 AM

She's a BEAUTY!! Your brother sure is special to "gift" you with this machine. My plug looks different also. I hope Billy has the answer for you about it.

leaha 09-17-2010 07:43 AM

oh how lovely! and what a super brother!

Kathy N 09-17-2010 07:54 AM

The plug doesnt look right, the one side is definitely pushed in. I would replace the plug so you don't have electrical probems.

Lostn51 09-17-2010 07:56 AM

You need to replace the wiring on the machine at least the power cord. That is not right at all.

The attachments you have are really nice and it looks like you have a few for a slant shank and then some for the short shank which is what the FW is.

You have a very nice machine indeed!!!

Billy

Oh so happy for you. Brother is a keeper alright! Your going to have so much fun with it.
About your plug... I'd have it checked by someone with machine knowlege. Looks weird to me, doesn't look like mine. One prong should not be longer than the other.
You have a Beautiful machine there and WTG on all the feet.
:lol:
Faith :XD:

She is beautiful! What a wonderful DB :D:D:D

raptureready 09-17-2010 08:10 AM

She's a beauty. Just pm lostn51 about the plug. I'm surprised Billy gets anything done as much as we go to him for answers but he never seems to mind. Good guy.

sew_lulu 09-17-2010 11:23 AM

Thanks everyone for suggestion Billy! He'll send me a replacement for the it! Yeah, can't wait to be able to use it!

littlehud 09-17-2010 01:22 PM

It is just beautiful. What a perfect machine. Are you going to name her?

pab58 09-17-2010 07:05 PM

And her name is.........??? :wink:

sew_lulu 09-18-2010 03:36 AM

Hmmm..... Not sure. What would you ladies suggest?

That plug needs repairing! Be careful.

I am glad to hear Billy is sending you a power cord!

Those feet, if they tilt or slant are for a slant shank 301. If you do not have a slant shank 301, I would be pleased as peaches to buy them. I just received a 301 which looks like it is going to become my main machine and am looking for feet.

Let us know if you can't use them and would like to find them a good home.

Aardie.

Mariposa 09-22-2010 09:37 AM

Congrats! She's pretty!

purplefiend 09-22-2010 09:39 AM

The feet for the 301 won't fit the Featherweight. The 301 is a slant shank and the Featherweight is a short shank.
I have 3 FWs, just sold one of mine to a dear friend.
Your featherweight is beautiful! :-D :mrgreen:

I looked at both and I still dont' know the difference. There are numbers on them but they both are the same number.

featherweight 09-22-2010 04:17 PM

I have 6 Featherweights and none of the plugs are like this one.

Lostn51 09-22-2010 08:01 PM

Yes and your cord will be in the mail tomorrow morning!!

The 301 feet will fit any slant shank machine the 300, 400, 500, 600 series machines.
