? about Featheweights
#51
My Mom had what she called a Featherweight with a dress maker head.....she gave it to me. She says she told me to never let it go but I sure don't remember her telling me that. I sold it for $20 in the early 70's and she still hasn't forgiven me!!!

I have 2 FW machines but today I went to a yard sale. There was a Necchi, 1951 model machine in a black case. The seller told me the machine worked but needed new cords. My DH said he could take care of that. I asked how much and nearly dropped when she said $10.00. Guess who has a Necchi model BU in her studio?????

My FW was purchased from an Antique Store in Langley, WA on Whidbey Island. It had previously been owned by another quilter. There were actually two for sale at the time. Mine is from 1934, the second dated from 1952. We each paid $250 and felt that was a very good price. The one I really wanted had been at Langley in 1999 at a clock shop. A light green machine and case from England and the price at that time was $500. I have always regreted not purchasing it. It was just the most lovely green.
