If I could do a happy dance I surely would be jumping for joy. we went to Minot tonight and just thought we would stop by the local Tuesday nite auction. Just about the first thing that hit my eyes when I walked in the building and went down the one row was --you guessed it a beautiful condition featherweight table. I sat on needles and pins waiting for it to come up for bids. I got it!!!!!!! Of course I paid $105.00 for it but it was in such good shape and then I found out it came from an estate in Kenmare only 13 miles from where I live. WHOOOwooo. Now I gotta find my camera take pictures of my new baby featherweight machine that came in the mail on Friday and the new table and post her to show her off. She works great too.

Congratulations! You are going to love having the table. It's a great size surface when you are working on quilts. I ended up using mine all the time. I set it up in the living room and can sew and watch tv etc. It's easy for me to take down whenever I need to.
Enjoy that wonderful table. And it was worth every penny.

After I took my table out to the car, I talked to a guy who says he sees FW's all the time on his trips, but he doesn't think they are selling like they used to. I told him I had a few friends who were looking for FW's. I also said I was looking for a free arm FW. He hadn't seen one of those tho. I said some people on EBAY were getting really greedy. I only pd 175.10 for mine and she is in great shape. I also have the attachments that I got from some other singer machines that will fit. Also bought a rotary cutter ext table if I want to use it on top of the table.

You got your table at a very good price. I had to pay $150 for mine. They don't come up for sale that often and frequently are not in good shape as many people seem to have used them for other things (set leaking plants or hot coffee cups on them etc.) and they are marked and scratched up. Finding one in good condition is a real plus. I'm still on the search for a 222 and the Featherweight cabinet which is even more rare.
