Occasionally we come across a particular machine that has real pitzfaa. This is one such machine. It came into our shop tagged for the wrecking ball, but we happened to notice something unusual. It actually purrs. It operates to such a light touch you can purr back at it rather than push on the foot pedal, or so it seems.
Effortlessly it sews a perfect stitch. Chrome is in excellent condition. The original decorative, gold-leaf trim on the back of the base is intact. Otherwise, this little kitten is cosmetically challenged. Due to use, the trim on the front of the base is well-worn and the base enamel paint is a bit irregular. But rarely have we worked on a machine that operates as smoothly as this one, and we just couldn’t bring ourselves to part it out.
This machine comes with a full set of original attachments, original owner’s manual and the original leather-handled case. The after-market red belt seems to help the machine purr along, so we left it in place. This was one of the last Featherweights Singer produced with the handy case lift out tray, which is included.
If you love the feel of a machine that has been working for generations and will keep working for you and your family, this is the machine for you. This machine gives you the beautiful straight stitches you can only get from a sewing machine of another era.
