It sure looks lovely but how does it sew? Is the wiring all new?

Ii saw a Butterfly sewing machine. That was the name on it. It came with a singer treadle cabinet for $50.00. It is in Topeka, IN. private mail me if you are interested I have a picture of it on my phone, but took too much medicine last night and can barely function today. Marcia

First thing is to know if it is in running condition. Probably has had a paint job. Good Luck.

If that pink cutie is in good working condition and I could afford it, I would buy it!

Yes, it has been painted.
Its a 1947, does sew. Has been serviced.
The color is magenta.....
I'm sew tempted :shock:

I love it!!

If the mechanics are okay, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Imagine redecorating your sewing room using that color as a focus. What fun!

If it works and depending on the price, I would run with it.

KalamaQuilts 04-08-2016 11:37 AM

the prices for the paint job that I've found run 4-500.00 dollars. I suppose if you had a pet auto body person it would be less, but if that FW was down in my bottom feeder range I'd get it.

That said my FW is my least favorite machine. I'd have a change of heart in a hot color :)
