lym95 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Searching craigslist on rainy day while in FL, found two sowing machines listed, one for $100 and one for $150, he thought the older one was worth more (looked like 99k?? not sure) BUT the other is shown below. Woohoo!! Coming home with me!! I do know how to spell sewing machine, but obviously this person did not. Oh well, my benefit!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judy Bland Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Bargain Marjorie, well done, they are a marvellous little machine, I love mine and use it twice a week for patchwork days, never fails to get comments from visitors and other group members, there are 5 of us in the group with FWs now and it's lovely to hear them all just ticking away quietly.

CiCi Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I love my featherweight!!!! I use it more than any of my other sewing machines. It travels and flies with me a lot, probably qualifies for frequent flyer miles. My precious machine has even flown up near the captain because I did not want it in overhead storage. Love it, love it, love it! You made agreat deal - lucky you! - Enjoy CiCi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mswings Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I love my featherweight also. I thought I had found a good deal when a lady at guild sold me one for $250. They are great machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
