YAY!!!!
i got my new featherweight baby today that I bought on Ebay, and after a good dose of oil and grease, a change of needle and a clean out of bobbin, she sews like a DREAM. OMG they are such a smooth quiet machine arnt they?
I decided to name her Shadow...because she is black.
I think the last person who had her thought that it did not work properly, as the needle was in the wrong way, and all te tension was up the creek. But we soon fixed that!
Oh, Gosh I am so happy I got a good one..

Glad you got your FW. I have one and I love it. They are a wonderful machine.
We need to see a picture of Shadow. Something for the history books and people to drool over.
Congratulations! You'll love her!

Congratulations. I got a white one earlier in the summer, and I like her a lot too. I haven't ever seen a black one for sale with the UK/European voltage, so that's why I went for my Connie.
I know the black ones are about, because I have a friend who found one, they just seem to be harder to find.

The white ones are quite rare here, I cant say I have ever seen one. But I agree, they are a great little machine

Take good care of her. I have about 10 featherweights and love each of them. I have one 222 and that one I hope to never have to sell. I have sanded down a few (ones that were in very bad shape) re-painted, new decals, and serviced. My husband bought me a wreck for my 50th birthday and that one I painted a color changing purple and dark green with new decals. It looks amazing!!! I enjoy bringing some of the old gals back to life.
I also have a white, tan, and the 222. I have my special machines displayed in my china cabinet and many other stashed away.
