Congrats, Cindy is beautiful. Welcome to the FW club. :thumbup: :)

She is just adorable. I'm a little envious. I'm looking or a featherweight from 1950 - the year I was born. One of these days I'll find one. Good luck with your new friend.

You did good...Happy dance..
I got a small bottle of black touch up paint from the auto store...like touching up the dinks in you car door..does that make sense..you DH sould know what I'm talking about. Mine did my FW and you can't tell where the chips are on the machine. DH says you might have to go to a dealer, to get paint. |

What a little beauty. You were fortunate to find one in such good shape and at that price. Congratulations on your purchase.

He actually said he will now start looking for them at garage sales. I've decided to name "her" Cindy -- she's my Singer Cindy. :) It's the perfect machine to take to my granddaughters' home! Hope I am successful in attaching three photos - sorry one is blurry. Is there a way to treat the few paint chips?

Hi! I purchased a FW 221-1, 1947, from the original owner. It is beautiful and works so well! I was amazed that you can purchase a walking foot for this machine. It has many feet that I thought were new on my two Berninas? I had an electronic Viking for over 25 years, which I have since given to my youngest daughter. When I inquired of Viking if a walking foot could be purchased for that model, I was advised, "no" . . . a walking foot was only available on newer models. I hope some of my granddaughters develop an interest in sewing. I would love to pass this little gem along. P.S. I got into the FW area on this board, but I'm not understanding how to post to it.

Beautiful machine. Go to a place that sells small bottles of car paint & get some black to take care of the chips.

Beautiful
