Candace, wasn't that ad a shocker? I was so surprised to open it up and see Featherweights! Skyangel, I have a few machines that have been named after the owners. Sometimes the name just sticks with me and I can't shake it!

It must have been the right machine for me because the stars all aligned perfectly for me to get it. I feel very lucky to have it.

Your FW is in excellent condition, her decals are very well preserved, from what I see in the photo. Wonderful story. I'm glad you got the machine. The old White that I was given was given to me because I "sew" and sew and sew, and sew some more. The folks who are giving me the machine are clients of the office where I work, and the machine belonged to her mother. She doesn't sew and she wanted someone to have the machine who would use it!

Oh, she's beautiful! And the case looks great too. Do you know his mother's name? I'd ask and call her that. I think the seller was happy because you were so nice, and he must be happy someone will appreciate his mom's machine. Happy sewing!

Jeanette, It really is in very nice condition. The decals have a couple worn spots in the front line but overall she is very pretty and the nice part is she runs very well. :)

That's exactly what I was going to suggest. :thumbup:

Your case looks better than mine for sure...
My FW was stored near the salty waters of Gig Harbor so there is some corrosion. I am like you though...do I want one or do I not. I certainly did not NEED one. Then this pops up. The gentleman that had it was a Scot and oh so nice of an older man and his wife played piano...They were good people... I would be interested in the serial number of yours...I wonder if they are similar since we got them so close together.

Good job. Hope you get many years outa her. Love mine. Good story. Need to write this all down and store it with the machine.

Exciting time for you, anyway that's how I felt when I got mine...now have 4 all earmarked for grand daughters, but I am using a couple of them till they say they are ready to use them. Congrats!!..loved your story.

Congrats it always pays to be fair and honest. Enjoy your new Girl. She's a beauty.

Wow, good story and glad you got your Featherweight at a great price and some magazines to boot.
