    Default New Featherweight child....minus a foot controller and plug

    Just picked up this little girl from ebay for ~$125. Now just need to find a plug/foot pedal. Any ideas?
    Planning to repaint her purple or pink for my granddaughter, then I plan to teach her to sew.

    Try contacting Budd's Sewing & Vacuum Center in Fresno, CA 559-441-1000 ask for Ken or Roy. They have just about everything and at a very reasonable price. They will ship it too. Tell Ken the lady that came in on Saturday to drool over his older machines sent ya.

    Try Sew Classic online http://www.sew-classic.com/. Most of the regulars here on the forum buy parts, cords and feet from Jenny.

    Joe, what's wrong with pink? I think the pictures I've seen of the repaints in candy apple red and pink were pretty nice.

    I got a new cord for a Featherweight I got at auction for around $15 off Ebay. It had an older model foot control that I was able to rewire.
