Of course I love my featherweights but for overall versatility and heftiness I think that the 401 is in a class of its own. I assume your 401g is the German equivalent of the Am. made, I wish my 401 would chain stitch, but it does not.:)

There is a source for a walking foot made for the featherweights. Try Jean Lyle on the net. She has the most wonderful
products for the Featherweights. I first came across them at the AQS show in Paducah. I even bought a scratch and dent model of a reproduction table and had DH rework the opening to fit my white featherweight. |
Great information from everyone. I recently got a FW born in 1949, my birth year! I am glad to know about the walking foot.

For anyone interested, I have walking foot on my website www.thequiltgal.com and I have been using one just like those on my Featherweights since 1999 or 2000. No problems! Love it!
This is the one in the box in the first picture. See the little fork with the black covering. It goes over the screw that you use to tighten your needle. The second type are for sale, but NOT on my website. They have the little arm that goes on top of the screw (not a fork over and under). This type does not work as well and as for as I know actually sells for more. |
