I don't know. I've just seen the ones that you can buy that have the featherweight picture on them. Cute! Good luck. If I find something I'll let you know. Hugs.

I recently purchased a cover for my FW, on eBay, and it just came today. It is really nice and the price was excellent. The seller also states that she can custom make one with the fabric of your choice. This is the one that I bought:

it would behoove you to first read the manual before trying to sew on the machine. the oiling diagrams in particular
should be checked to see if it is properly oiled & lubed to begin sewing. tension, needle, etc are very clearly shown
in you manual. they are also available in all kinds of places on the Web. you will love the machine, but it does take
some care & regular oiling, cleaning, etc.
