I lol'd at your user name. My last name is close to Edsel and it was one of my many nick names in high school. Do you collect those, too?

I have about 15 sewing machines, mostly. vintage, a few modern. Unfortunately, I have only one Edsel. :(

Love your featherweight table. Looks like it was in good shape.

That's amazing!!!!!!!! I spent way more getting mine. Good for you!
And I've never come across a table.

I am going to get a table for mine and I have found one for the bargain price of $100, I have shopped at goodwill on line and they are pricy..the goodwill store here is as well and have never seen a featherweight or a Treadle there!!! In What part of the world are you???? I could find a Treadle easily in NJ when I lived there but haven't seen a deal in Illinois ever!

The base of the Featherweight is 7 inches wide. The 301 is only 5 3/4 inches wide at the base. The bed of the 301 is wider than the base. The top of the bed of the Featherweight is 6 1/2 inches

I've never understood why people think those are so ugly.

This was at a small town nearby... Lots of $ put into a barn find. It had the standard lever for the automatic and an 390 under the hood.
