Motor issue
I am so excited. My hunt is temporarily over. I found my first Featherweight. It will be here in a couple days. The price was right. $125.00 plus the shipping. I can't wait for it to get here. I know it has a wiring issue which is why the price was so low. This is fixable. So I will have that fixed in short order. If the problem is what it was described as I can fix it myself. Sounds like a loose wire going into the motor. Time will tell. I can hardly wait I am so excited!!! Of course I will let you all know about this little gem when it gets here and I know I will have it up and running in no time at all. Now if I come across another one that is as close to a bargain as this one is I will grab it up too.

I got my first FW last Fall, and I have not even plugged it in yet. My son's mgr's MIL passed suddenly--she was a quilter--and I was given first chance at whatever I wanted. I bought FW and orig table for $200, Juki TL98 on Bee-Line frame, 4 lge boxes of fabrics (one of fabric bolts), various rulers, scissors, etc etc. I have been learning the mid arm quilting and the Juki--it ties off begin and end....no pulling up bobbin threads! I am blessed!
