    I knew that sooner or later we would see resale on the faux Featherweights. Here is the first listing I have seen:

    They are ugly when new, and even uglier when used!

    Looks like they don't hold up any better than any other plastic wonder

    Worse,.. the black shows every mark.

    I didn't realize they marketed these as a featherweight... when I saw the post, I thought it was going to be the alphasew "Quilter's Portable"

    I've also seen another black plastic machine being sold for denim/jeans - designed to look "cool". Should be a few of those popping up around the place soon enough, at least in Australia.

    Just saw my first cheap plastic Brother machine in an op-shop recently - the one that retails here for about $130. I told the woman who worked there that she'd be seeing plenty of those in the years to come!

    LOL I'm thinking the guy is trying to collect email addresses so he can sell them. Try $11.00 to be realistic.
