Kinda.......I've been on a halfway stalk on eBay for a featherweight machine.   I'd bid on a Regular basis knowing good and well that my chances of winning was slim.....It was fun, gave me something to do.....My oldest sister cheered me on,  said I needed one esp if I decided to start going to classes....  Then in a conspiracy against me, My Father swings by the thrift/junk store,  calls all excited because she has 2 new sewing machines,  if I wanted to go check them out.  As a dutiful daughter, I go to look....imagine my surprise when the first one she pulls out is a Featherwieght !!! The other machine was a black 1956-1959 singer,  case and box had seen better days,  didn't even look look at it, the featherweight was plugged up, moter ran, machine was dirty, needed some work, something I could attempt to fix.....decided to think about it.      DS (dear sister) was called/faebooked for consultation.... She was appauled that I even wanted to think about it !!!!   So wit
