I've decided to sell one of my Featherweights, so I'm putting it here first for folks to have a think about - I know a couple of people said they'd really like one.
This one is a 221K (a standard Featherweight, not the one with the free-arm) black, 1956 with "Prism" decals in really nice condition.
It has a set of bobbins, all it's feet, a LED bulb and it's black case, and it works nicely; I have pieced a quilt top on it
I'd really like it to go to someone who wants one, so I am open for an offer rather than setting a silly price and putting people off. If you've been yearning for one, please get in touch, I'm not trying to make oodles on this, just to let one go (I do have others)
It is possible apparently to pack these for transit - the Featherweight Shop has a tutorial on how to do it - but knowing how carriers handle things these days I would really rather it was collected. (Somerset) We would happily drive 50 miles or so in your direction to help, but then obviously you wouldn't be able to test it wherever we met up.
Anyway, please let me know if you'd like it

ETA - for anyone who doesn't know (but then if you don't know, you probably don't want one LOL) Featherweights were small, aluminum-bodied electric striaght stitch machines. Fairly easy to keep working despite being over 50 years old, and keenly sought-after by quilters as they are nice to take to classes. There is a super website and business in USA with oodles of info and pictures at:
