I am making my first quilt with a jellyroll and muslin and using my black featherweight, and it is simply wonderful!!! Also, someone answered my question about the 1/4" foot on this group, saying she used moleskin. Well, yesterday at Walmart I found some (with the Dr. Scholls foot products), and it is soooo great! It has something sticky on the back, so I cut a straight narrow piece and put it on the featherweight so it goes all the way from the foot to the edge of the machine and measures the 1/4" for me. It is thick, so the fabric butts up to the edge of the moleskin.
Good luck! I love my featherweight, and I know the white one will be
perfect!!! Lulie

Gramfel, I saw on ebay a FW with a ziz zag and button hole attachment. Do you know if they really belong to a FW? I thought they should go with a '301'. I haven't taken the time to check it out. I would think those attachment would be to heavy for a FW. I have a black and a white FW. The white one my DH bought at a yard sale for $75. The sellers thought it was a child's toy. Lucky me, huh.

Gramy, those attachments could really belong to a FW. I have a whole box full of attachments including the buttonhole attachment that came with my Grandma's black FW that I inherited. There are things in there that I have NO idea what they are :mrgreen: but I know they're original because my Grandma was the only one who owned it, and it's the only sewing machine she ever had.

Yes, the buttonhole attachement can be for a 221 (featherweight), and one day I do want to buy one just to have and use. Good luck! Sounds like you have a great little machine - I do love mine!!
