Please... tell us where to get the decals....

The gold scrollwork on a Featherweight (and other older Singers) are waterslide decals, applied over the paint, then clear coat is applied over it all. The decals for a Featherweight are readily available from ebay and online sellers.

I don't know who painted my Featherweight purple. The person who owned it at the time lived in Houston, gave it to her daughter, the daughter moved to Portland to live with Dad and go to school, so decided to sell the FW on craigslist. I was in the right place at the right time to see the ad when it was first listed and going to Portland the next day. I wish I knew more. I have read people have their own repainting done in an automotive shop. Strip, clean, mask off, prime, paint, new decals, clear coat. I'm sure you could find out more by Googling.

CanadianGirl/Judy,
I like the pretty red color of your FW.
I'll be getting a FW painted a lovely dark purple. She'll be so much prettier when she has her new dress. Right now she has no decals left and the shiny clear coat is gone, however she sews wonderfully.

P.S.:
the guy that is painting my FW does a great job. Gerald Holmes in Arkansas. I've met him and seen his work.

Very pretty! I repainted mine and used the water slide decals, but I wasn't adventurous and repainted in the original black color. Seeing all your pretty colors makes me want to find a FW in need of a paint job and go for a color! Not sure what color - all your machines are so pretty!

Your red FW made me smile! BUT..... I'm one of those who just love their black ones complete with scratches and stories to tell. I dress mine up with colorful spoolpin cozies. In fact the one I'm using right now has a green small one, larger white and the largest one on it is red. ( No sence to have the cozies you can't see under the spool of thread.) I have crochet a lot of them and can switch them out when I want.
IF I ever got a FW that really looked bad, I just might be tempted to repaint it. I like looking at the colors others have painted them. I think I'd like a purple one if that happened. I was never partial to purple until I started looking for purple things for one of my twin GDs, and now I have more purple in my life and am loving it. (The other twin loves pink, as does their older sister.)

I love it now you have a very cherry FW the envy of all who see her!
