Thoughts needed on a Vintage peddle Featherweight...PLease
I was at a Goodwill and bought a Featherweight from 1924 in the cabinet with all the feet. It operates manually and needs a new belt.
I paid only $65, so I bought it.....
I am a quilter and sew on a Bernina and or a Janome.
Should I repair the machine and sew on it or is it for decoration?
Not sure about all the accessories.
Advise and counsel please.....

After servicing, I would certainly sew with it! I have a FW that I use; a 15-91 that I have used but am actually looking to get rid of simply due to lack of space; and my primary machine is a Viking computerized machine. Enjoy that little beauty.

Singer didn't start manufacturing Featherweights until the 1930s. You can check the serial number here http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...-database.html and see what model machine you have.
Most of the Singer feet for the older machines were interchangeable, so if you have a manual for one of the older machines, the instructions will probably work for this one or you can search the internet for a manual for that model machine.
