I didn't tell them they had the price too low (compared to Ebay). Only paid $125 which is a lot but not at much as the ones I see on Ebay and Craig's list. Could hardly wait to get home to check it out. Have not tried it yet - have to just look at it a while first. Did plug in and light came on and ran so just have to now figure out how to thread it etc. (no manual). Also only one bobbin so hoping can order some of those somewhere. Where do you find the serial number to look up the year/model etc?

Nancy go to this site www.Featherweight221.com and you can find some bobbins 6@$3.00 or 12@$6.00 plus a 2DVD set all about the Featherweights for $49.95, acrylic extension tables, and other accessories, this is at FeatherweightRX. I also have their address and phone number is for some reason you can't get to this site. It should be no problem, because I just rec.'d an email from them today, and this is the web site listed at the bottom of their page.
Looks like you bought a real beauty. Have Fun. Gerbie

The bobbin case and bobbins for the 301 machines fit the Featherweight. I had lots of the bobbins from my mothers 301 and have used them interchangeably with my Featherweight. Ann in TN
