He said the hook, and a few other parts, too, but I don't know enough to verify that, and don't have experience with that. I wonder what others will say about it...

Prim Quilts, that would have been a thrill!

Mark,

The needle plate and hook are also interchangeable. The bobbincase base in the middle of the hook assembly is not interchangeable, as the 'fingers are at a different angles and (I think) thicknesses.

Strange. Isn't the bobbin case the only thing interchangeable between the 301 and the Featherweight?

shouldn't the tension change out, too?

mlmack 04-28-2014 06:08 PM

Either way, that's not much of a "parting out".

Mizkaki 04-28-2014 06:13 PM

Probably, as so many tension units are interchangeable.

and I am so thankful for that!!!

Thank you for the extra info. Such a shame to take apart a working machine, it seems to me. But, I
guess FWs are worth quite a bit more to sell, so economically it would be good business. :-(

Some times you gotta do what you gotta do to eat when you are self employed.

Kind of like 57 Chevies. When I was a kid 4 doors and station wagons were considered parts cars. The only ones that really drew interest from the old car crowd were the 2 door models. These days there aren't as many 4 doors or station wagons so they get some interest too.
