Today at a flea market I finally saw a Featherweight in person. Gosh! I couldn't believe how tiny it was... I had thought I would try to find one as a portable machine, but now I don't want one! I would need something a little larger or I'd feel like I was working on a toy. What would be a good little portable-- the Singer 99? I know they aren't the best sewers of the older Singers, but aren't they a 3/4 size machine? How heavy are they?

I agree, the 301 is a wonderful small portable machine, I posted about my ELNA because I 'm using it a lot recently, but I have 301s, too and I love them as well. Just kind of slipped my mind , i guess. :-)

They didn't have a rubber replacement wheel for the bobbin filler on my machine listed. I'll call tomorrow. If they don't have one, where do I look next? Mine is very dry and is going to crumble.
