My husband and I were at an antique mall in town today and saw a Featherweight for sale for $275. It doesn't have a case but looks really in really good shape and it says it works. He talked them down to $225. Should we go back down tomorrow and buy it?

I think non sewers often say they work when in actual fact, the motor might go, and make the needle go up and down - that doesn't mean they stitch.

...and for a case, if you can't find one, get a bowling ball bag and take the wire rack out of it. The FW fits perfectly and is easy to carry and not expensive if you look at a thrift shop or Goodwill or Salvation Army store,
