    I have my mothers featherweight. been in her case for years, after all this talk, I should get her out and see what shape she is in. My father bought her for my mother before they were married, so that would put her birthdate in the late 1930's. my mothers pet name was nonie, so that is what I will call her machine.

    I had a top dollar too and kept loosing the bid. The funny thing is when I did a search on ebay this machine didn't show up. I was doing a google search and saw this ad, clicked on it and it was on ebay. Kind of odd I thought but I placed a bid and waited for the next hour with no other bids coming in.

    I wish you luck finding one at a price you can afford.

    I would get Nonie out and enjoy her. I'm sure your mother will be looking down with a smile probably your dad too.

    You know I think I will today, have to find the 'safe' place I put her.

    Hi Angie,

    She is a beauty. This past week-end I saw two at a quilt show. They wanted $525.00 for one and $475.00 for the other. Needless to say they still have them.

    Very special! It's so nice to be able to give credit to our family members for this craft we love so much - my grandma did the same for me and each time I work on a project she is always in my thoughts - hugs... ;-)
