Kathie...Don't know what words I could use to give you comfort except that I will pray for you and your family.

Good luck!!

And the price was excellent on this ~ free :)

Wow! Great find!

Thank you.

Mamatron, no there is not a tutorial here just for the FW, but if you order the book "Featherweight 221, The Perfect Portable" by Nancy Johnson-Srebro, she explains everthing you could think of about the FW.

As far as cleaning, Billy's tutorials on cleaning work great for any sewing machine. Just do a search here. Billy is Lostn51.

Yep, most people have no clue that the little Wilcox and Gibbs was a sewing machine!

Here is a site to get some information on the machines. I hope it is still there! http://www.sewalot.com/willcox_gibbs.htm

Kathie, sorry to hear about your SIL. Just try and spend as much time with her and the family as you can. My mom died of cancer and that's what we tried to do.

Kathie your SIL will be added to our prayer list.
Prayer is powerful.

Blessings,
Sandi
