Good question. My little girl just zooms. Usually more quickly than I'd like. I had to get used to very light pressure on the foot control which is an original.

I know this sounds sick, but I swear I stroke her every time I take her out of the case and plug her in.

What beautiful old time workmanship and pride in producing a machine that will last. The phrase, "they just don't make 'em like that anymore" sure does apply. Now, if I could just find my mother's.........................

I just use a gold paint for mine Glen. I have a set of irons that one of our members needs restored and I will do a tutorial on them. I am also restoring her machine and I am really excited about doing both of them. When I went to the Grocery store I even got a few ladies bringing their vintage machines to me for servicing. I am telling you this business of mine is shooting through the roof and I am loving every minute of it.

But the best part is I get to play with all of these wonderful machines!!

Thanks Glenn

My other one goes at a pretty good clip, especially on the straight seams, which is why I noticed such a big difference in this one. Maybe she's shy and isn't used to me yet......

Judy, thank you! I love all my machines, but this one is in the sadest shape. I hope I can give this little jewel some new life.

Hey Billy, yes if you have aor can find the button and walk me thru how to fix the cord that would be great!!! YOu cansend me a PM if you want. Now, what about all the accessories, manual and a case. My case is broken and missing the tray. Of course for a reasonable price. I looked on websites and all the individual parts cost a fortune. I looked on eBay and found exactly what I wanted, but the bid closed before I could get it. I also searched closed bids and found that I can get the case, accessories, manual all for about $50 to $60. I thought that was a fair price. What do you think??? Inquiring minds want to know.

My Feather weight is emaculate and runs perfectly but it appears slower then the other machines (singer 301 or 15 electric). Still not bad at all. I am wondering if there is something keeping yours from running at full potential.

That is a good price if you can get a case for that with accessories. I can sell the reproduction cases for around $75 to $80 depending on the amount that I order.

Heck I can even get a reproduction 221 and was thinking about buying one just to see how they act. If it was a high quality reproduction then I would start selling them also. I am going to be selling brand new Japanese 15's in 3 different colors next year badged under my companies name.

Very pretty machine and cabinet. She should be very proud of herself.
