    I am going to look at this featherweight tomorrow night.
    They wanted $250 but said I could have it for $200. Should I buy it?

    I paid more than that for mine and it did not have the case and attachments.

    Will you be allowed to test drive her? Do you need her? Got the $$$? Then go for it.

    Make sure it has the bobbin case,cords and foot pedal and try to sew with it, if possible. It is a good price, I think. There's not too much that can go wrong with these fine little machines so if it's all there, I think you can get it to work well for you.

    I'm going to take along fabric and thread. I don't need it but I have never actually seen one and every one on the board thinks they are great. I can afford to buy it. I hope it turns out to be as good as it looks. Thanks for your comments.

    Sounds pretty fair and you have the funds. Looks like the manual and attachments are in the box. That is something to check too. They are darling machines. I have my grandma's and treasure it.
