Hi Paula, She is beautiful! Do you have an idea of her birthday? I bet you

Thanks Coleen! I sent my money order off yesterday. Don't know if I'll get
her before Christmas, but that's OK because I won't have much time to play with her right now anyway! Paula "Coleen" wrote in message . .. Paula -- Congrats (and I'm dancing along with you). Enjoy your new toy. Love in Stitches, Coleen Queen of Loving Stitches "aluap" wrote in message news:2i9Fb.12159$ti2.1714@lakeread03... May I do a happy dance!? I just won a bid on eBay for a Featherweight! The description has everything I wanted, and I am pleased with the price. I'm going to be a nervous wreck until I get it! (It's my Christmas present to me..) Paula |

Hi Linda,
I don't know her birthdate yet. The seller didn't give her number. He just stated she was made in NJ. He stated he couldn't find the "serial number", but I'm not sure he knew what/where to look. I did send an Email asking for it a few hours before I bid, but never got a response (probably not enough time to answer). I'll just have to wait and see when I get her! I'm assuming the number for the BD is on the motor where I've seen the other ones in other auctions. I will be watching closely for the UPS man or FedEx over the next week, but I think the Christmas rush might slow her down a bit! I just took a look at your pics. Goldie is sooo pretty, and your quilts are gorgeous! I love the pillows...are those figures applique or embroidered? I've made a few pillows, a couple with applique and a couple with embroidery. Two of them went to friends (who are sadly dying of cancer) as "hug" pillows. One friend died last week. Hers was a Sunbonnet Sue applique, and she loved it. She was a lovely person...her birthday was to be Christmas Day. I've rambled on enough! Have to get to work now! Paula "nana2b" wrote in message ... Hi Paula, She is beautiful!

Serial number is on the bottom kind of under the area where
the bobbin is. If the side striated plate is original to the machine is is post war, but it has the older style paint. I would guess that between '47 and '53.

Hi Paula, The pillows are Embroidered and quilted. When you get your FW
look on the underside next to the fold up area. There is a little plate with the number on it. I am amazed everytime I sew with Goldie. Today I had the city inspector for our new roof. He recognized the FW and said his wife sewed on hers for alot of years. Couldn't wear it out. When I got my second one ,Jack, I was brave enough to completely clean and lube the machine. It was fairly clean but had some crusty stuff on the gears. Ran much better after the bath. Still have a noise issue at the belt. Have to change it I think. I want to try it myself before I take it in. Sadly I, too, have a friend with Cancer. I made her a flannel hug quilt with a Giraffe on it from Whimsical Kingdom, Bernina. She loves Giraffes. She has a tumor on the femar of her left leg and although they are Chemo-ing the heck out of it, it is not shrinking. I think the next step will be to take the leg. Hopefully that will save her life. She is a very nice person. I have her in my prayers daily. Nice to meet you. If you want to talk E-mail me at sugarpiemomataolcom. Put in the symbols and dots. -- Sugar & Spice Quilts by Linda E http://community.webshots.com/user/frame242 |

Linda, Hopefully the manual that comes with Maxine will tell me how to
correctly "lube" her if she needs it! I haven't oiled a machine since my mother's old Singer. Your friend will be in my prayers too. Paula "nana2b" wrote in message ...

If you guys aren't on Featherweight Fanatic you might try it to find there
is a lot of info there. I think it is free for the first month and then $12 a year. The Nancy Srebro Johnson book a small amount of money and time to save a lot of $ on repair too. I can almost hear little FW's all over the country purring away! Taria aluap wrote: Linda, Hopefully the manual that comes with Maxine will tell me how to correctly "lube" her if she needs it!
