I'm sure your Featherweight will not disappoint if it gets a good service and rewiring. <br />I have one it is a 221k, 1951 and I bought it from a deceased estate. I had to get all the wiring replaced as it had some exposed wiring, a good service and oil in the right places, she's just happy to be loved again!!! Your case looks as if it has seen better days. I used a good quality glue to pat down any lifted areas and then used a good quality black boot polish applied with a cloth, then rubbed gently to a nice matt shine. It should come up really well. Also check<br />http://wwww.featherweight221.com<br /><br />I bought the book and DVD, this guy really knows his FW's and has great advice on keeping your little beauty in good order!<br /><br />Good luck and happy sewing!!!Merilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07017362688960778176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116074259919602763.post-74080287033949202202011-04-22T14:40:40.493-04:002011-04-22T14:40:40.493-04:00good for you on the featherweight~!!~ i LOVE using...good for you on the featherweight~!!~ i LOVE using mine~!<br /><br />between that and the charming antique quilts in your post it looks like you had a grand day out~!<br />btw: i would say that the second quilt down is an album quilt too.<br /><br />:-)<br />libbyQlibbyquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03360109482795842401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116074259919602763.post-41185653753997243102011-04-22T11:50:21.699-04:002011-04-22T11:50:21.699-04:00What a great day, thanks for taking us 'along&...What a great day, thanks for taking us 'along'.

What a wonderful surprise to see so many quilts in one place. And you can't beat finding one of those delightful Featherweights! What a great find.

Keep us posted on how you like it after it's back from the shop. <br />I haven't checked in any books, but that 2nd antique quilt certainly looks like an album block to me, with careful placement of the center fabric to create the cross/plus. <br />You had quite a day.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255216150275846123noreply@blogger.com
