I'm not sure what age of machine to hunt though. She got it in the late 40's and I like the scroll plates better. But, I was born in 1952 so it might be cool to have one my age. Then there are the Centennials. |

DH is into these old Ladies more than I am. He can't seem to pass any of them up. There are some people I wouldn't want them to know how many machines we have collected just since last May. They would think we were off our rocker. |
[I have one in my family also and some friends say the same thing "another machine you can only sew on one at a time".

I keep thinking, one more. I wanted a featherweight, real bad, I now have two. Love love love them. Then I got a 201, even DH says it is great. I just ordered a 99, am bidding on a 66 and lost a 301. I think I might have a problem! LOL

Buslady: Compare the FW with the 201 as far as ease of portability goes. Doesn't the 201 weigh half again as much as the FW? I'm looking for something to carry on and off an RV. |
Think the FW weighs around 11 pounds. And they are sooo cute! :-)

No it is not a vertical feed if it has feed dogs. I tried to find a free manual on line for the Pathfinder, but didn't come up with anything for that machine. Maybe, someone else has a manual or knows where you can get one for the Pathfinder? Nancy |
